Johnny Polygon has been described as “a musical artist who combines classic melodies with unconventional song structure for an alternative blend of hip hop, soul and R&B. His lyrical content skews dark and cynical with love stories laced with wit.” In 2010, a writer from Planet Ill wrote “Johnny Polygon’s music has a pretty solid mix of pretty spaced out hip hop, electro and rock music production values paired with a nicely adaptable flow as an MC. As far as his singing goes, he does a pretty straight job sans autotune…kinda Pharrell-ish but lower on the octave scale.” Last.fm describes Polygon as “an eclectic mix of indie skewed hip hop and world music. He walks to his own beat and stays left of what most perceive from the genre naturally.” In March 2014, Melissa Pandika of OZY Media wrote Polygon is “Not quite R&B, not quite hip- hop, his style is hard to categorize, often labeled ‘quirky’ and ‘out there’ by critics.” Pandika continued to write Polygon’s album, The Nothing, is “a kaleidoscope of psychedelic soundscapes laden with darkly personal rhymes, a laid-back flow — and an unexpectedly soulful, haunting falsetto.”
