Kool Keith and TOMC3 - Project Polaroidrow115 Apr 06 |

TOMC3 teams up with Kool Keith for this retro futuristic action epic. When details of this album first emerged I had never heard or TOMC3 or his first album Dopestyle 1231; so I didn't know what to expect. But after listening to the Digital Engineering single my expectations for the full album were very high. I like to call this a 'retro futuristic action' album as from the albums artwork and half of the music it makes the album seem like its set in a 60's action/detective movie, the type with car chases, double crossing and women in full body bathing suites. The production is not topical of a hip-hop album. The production is very fresh and I have not heard anything like it, I couldn't name one other hip-hop album with guitar, violin, piano and flute samples, especially one which works as good as this. Keith is also on full throttle with his lyrics and delivery. The lyrics are similar to Dr. Octagon as seen on 'Digital Engineering'
The track I was looking forward to the most was 'Clubber Lang', which in-case you didn't know Clubber Lang is the name of Mr. T's character in Rocky III. The album is one of Kool Keith's most consistent releases, I haven't found a track which I would be inclined to skip. The only track which I wasn't too keen on is 'Mechanical Mechanix' where Prince Po tries to do the Sci-Fi rapping, but it doesn't sound right and he reminds me of Sir Menelik on Dr. Octagon. Luckily when Keith comes onto the track he starts off with one of his most well known lines
The album finishes off on a high note with some samples from the creepy thriller 'One Hour Photo' which perfectly finishes the album off. |
