Almost one year ago, Homeboy Sandman played to a crowd of about 30 students in Armstrong Theater. The passion that he performed with was commendable seeing as he was playing to a measly crowd of college students on a Friday night in Colorado Springs, CO. The rapper, who hails from New York City, has made a living on his understated and poignant raps. In “God,” the MC creates a friendly image of God in his distinctive poetic flow. “God gives me dreams / God gives me bed bugs / The big and the small God gives it all.” The world of “underground” hip-hop is a curious thing and I hope that Stones Throw Records can continue to expose Homeboy Sandman to a bigger audience, because the man has something to say.
SONG OF THE DAY: HOMEBOY SANDMAN – “God”
