Artist: Polaroid Play
Album: A Demo
Articulation: King Acklin
Louisville’s own, Polaroid Play, presents our listening ears with a short (under 17mins), yet entertaining 5 track project titled, A Demo. If this truly is a demo then I would say, well played. With sounds as clear as a good polaroid picture, Polaroid quickly pulls you into his cool, smooth vibes. Intentional or not, it seems to work here. Honestly, I was having an irritating day until I put this on. Notifications, which opens the project, started to play and the sounds of a bass guitar and melodic words of bourbon & coke along with getting some fire vagina is always a win win. Polaroid keeps it smooth on Woes. “But this a marathon, how they gonna lap us” are some lyrics he raps as he tells a girl let’s quit wasting time here, what’s is gonna be. Whatever it is, he can’t escape his Woes...
“Aint shit shaking but the leaves on the trees” raps Polaroid on Dip Out. For whatever reason this just feels like a LOUISVILLE song or whatever you want to call it. It’s the same feeling I get listening to the next song too, but definitely one to turn the volume up on. Yep, Out the Way, my favorite track on the album, has a nice bounce vibe to it and another bop. I mean I could visualize back in the day people tearing up the skating rink to this. I would say use that for the video but naw, we just seen that from another Dope LOUISVILLE artist...Lastly, we got My Dawgs. Just a good way to end a short project.
The production, beats, and songs are well put together and I’m begging for a Devin The Dude collaboration at some point because you can definitely get that feeling listening to this Polaroid project. Bottom line and question of the day; is It Dope Tho? The answer is yes. The project is an 8 on the Dope Tho Scale. Listen now, run it back and thank me later... #DopeTho #YouWelcome
