Details: Product description Slimm Calhoun ~ Skinny Amazon.ca Dungeon Family member Slim Calhoun is the first release from Aquemini Records, Outkast's label, with The Skinny. His hallmark is a lilting Georgian intonation and a mile-a-minute flow that bears marked similarities to his mentors. The rapper's identity is further smothered by Earthtone's solid, gothic-funk production, which displays only a few brief glimmers of brilliance. A full-throttle funk workout erupts out of nowhere on the chorus of "Well," then hides behind a plink-plonk keyboard motif and a jangling rhythm. "Timelock" is a breezy head-bobber over which Slimm relates the day-to-day strife of a low-cash life. Big Boi and Andre 3000 guest on three tracks. The former on the filthy "Why Ya Smilin" and the low-key "Dirt Work." The latter graces "Its OK" with vocoderised vocals. It sounds like Lenny Kravitz minus the guitar masturbation, emasculated but kind of catchy. Coherent but workmanlike, The Skinny is a quick Southern-fried fix for those waiting for a follow-up to Outkast's Stankonia. But it's several helpings short of a satisfying meal. --Chris Campion
