Johnny Polygon - Day Dreamin'
Artist: Johnny Polygon
Producer: Oklahoma
Album: Group Hug (Bonus Track)
Label: Unsigned
Johnny Polygon‘s a hard emcee to pin down, but one thing’s for certain: there’s something about him that keeps listeners coming back for more. His last feature, That’s You, saw him mixing blunt sexual humor with world-weary pearls of wisdom like an aloof, extremely crass Buddha, and this new record, a bonus track off his forthcoming Group Hug EP, finds him taking an equally irreverent yet insightful look at what is, for better or worse, our society’s main yardstick for success: money. Day Dreamin’ over a woozy, sampled instrumental by Oklahoma, he observes that, if there’s a God up there, he must really, really like millionaires, segueing into some intriguingly abstract philosophical musings on his second verse. Stay tuned for more of Johnny P.‘s deep thoughts on Group Hug, dropping May 12th, as well as his contribution to our DJBooth.net Freestyle Series, also coming next month.

Another banger by Polygon. The mixture of this beat and his rhyme style is an enjoyable blend of new school and old school. This has me very excited about his freestyle for the Booth series.

This is my favourite Johnny Polygon solo joint so far.

I actually found the production to be a little distracting. Polygon was pretty good and the hook was tight. Rotation for me.

Definitely not quite like anything I've heard before, kinda a wierd dude. Wierd is often times good in the music biz, tho. His wacky rhymes and down to earth flow work well on the track. and the hook is def some catchy ish... nice vibe on this track (and its just the bonus?)

I can't listen to this shit. That beat ruined it for me. What was Oklahoma thinking? OMFG, I can't stand this shit. That crappy beat takes away from Johnny Polygon's true ability because the truth is, the man's a beast, but gdamn! I don't want to risk suffering an aneurysm, in an attempt to listen to my boy spit. Half a Star

The beat has a dark vibe to it and works perfect for the delivery of JP's verses ... with his last song on booth he won me over as a new fan & i Digg his ability to switch up deliveries mid-verse into some fast flowing spit fire (check out his other joints)... One criticism - the instrumental does takes the focus off the lyrics a lil bit ... A better instrumental & this would be a banger for others too ... haha
Lookin forward to his contribution on Freestyle Series... |

GStan I'm co-signing that feedback. Production was a bit annoying after awhile but still deserving of a 3 star. I'd put this in the same category as his other cuts, but nothing to get my full attention yet.

Production gets repetitive, but not really annoying. Chorus is nice and I like his down to earth flow like Juanito said. He is a good weird hehe

Ha, what can I really say that hasn't already been said above me? I agree with a combonation of what everybody before me said. Beat is repetitive, but not really annoying. It is, however, distracting. I find myself listening to it and trying to figure out how they got it to sound like the beat is having a seizure, instead of listening to Polygon. But, the parts I did listen to him were good. Overall, just in rotation. But I think I'll only listen to this once or twice more. He needs to come with better production next time.

This sort of bores me. There's nothing really interesting about it that makes me want to continue to listen to it. I don't like his singing on here either. I do get a sort of old school vibe when i listen to it...lyrically he's not bad...it's really old school...delivery wise it was whatever. It's certainly not my cup of tea and I know I won't be listening to it again.

I'll have to agree with the general consensus here and state that the production starts to wear thin towards the end of the track...JP's flows are definitely the highlight on this track, he spits and flows tightly.
The hook on here is also somewhat catchy...I don't know though...something feels like it's missing. Not Bad - but I'd say 2.5, not a full 3. |

His flow is ok but the production is terrible. I can't really stand the background music and the beat lacks energy. No thanks
