"Kaotik's smooth, murky voice invites you to think with him, rather than retaliate. Musically, the style is sparse, low-key and slow-paced, taking points for some mesmerizing melody in the vocal lines."
"...he can't be accused of "controversy for publicity" - It's clear he's in it for his message. And by his delivery, his message will penetrate."
Bek Sabbath - WHOOPSY! Magazine
Kaotik was named "One of the Best Underground Hip Hop Artists of 2006" by HipHopLinguistics.com! - HipHopLinguistics.com
"Man who knew that a Southern Baptist white boy from Cookeville, Tenn. could flow like Kaotik? Though his rhymes are often blatantly religious and downright controversial, Poem Of A Stranger is nothing less than an honest portrayal of life lived in a small West Tennessee town. The album is proof that hip-hop transcends big city turmoil-infused youth, but has spilled over into all areas of the world. "Prologue" opens the album with a smooth and catchy hook that is hard to shake. Other tracks come close to the quality of the opening's mantra, but sometimes get muddled in opinionated proselytizing." Will Jordan - Rib Magazine
