Project Polaroid's mesmerizing downtempo hip-hop
throbs with a low-key but infectious stoned haze
groove and is infused with dischordant jazz sampling
and funked out flavahs.
There's almost a hint of dub
to the proceedings as the chilled but hooky beats
progress with attitude-edged lyrics move along with
the groove. It's a nice alternative to the
heavy-hitting hard rap (not that there's anything
wrong with that). But - with some help from Kool
Keith, whose presence only ups the ante creatively -
Project Polaroid has crafted hip-hop that appeals more
sublimely.

With the use of self-assured delivery of
intelligent lyrics laid over wonderfully done DJ work,
Keith and Polaroid have honed both sides of the the
hip-hop coin - spoken word performance and the DJ
element - and fused them together into addictive
listening. This is music that conveys serious thought
without unnecessary aggression and catches your soul
via tight audio manipulation. Gentle, but not weak.
