“This shit is lovely!” – URB
- URB Magazine
“Kristin has that patented throaty, jazzy, Trip Hop diva voice…” - Audio Galaxy
“Titles like Trip Hop, Downbeat and Acid-Jazz never really adequately describe most of the music that they are placed on, like the latest project from the Khromozomes Camp.” - Frank151 Magazine
"...chromosomes are responsible for the development and functioning of the entire body. They also make each body unique. Appropriately, Khromozomes, the producer, is able to breathe life into three completely different manifestations of hip-hop and make them all slam." - Yellow Rat Bastard magazine
Discography
As a group, they have released: LP titled "Empty" (2002) and another titled "Stranger Things". Songs from both have appeared in video games, television and film.
