Homeboy Sandman Recruits Your Old Droog Producer EL RTNC for Live Date-promoting "Nonbelievers" (Stones Throw Playlist)




"Holy sh*t! Here's a new song we made [with] Homeboy Sandman for our show together Friday," now-defunct New York Hip-Hop revivalists Das Racist Tweeted way back when in 2010, promoting a then-upcoming November 5th Southpaw gig along with a pre- Stones Throw Angel del Villar II; if I remember correctly, "I'm Up On That" was the very first time I had ever been treated to the sweet, rhythmic sounds of Homeboy Sandman, who's comfortably seated as one of Stones Throw's sharpest emcees. "Here's a new track from Homeboy Sandman, as the MC (and amazing live performer) kicks off a couple weeks of live dates through the east and southern states, culminating with a couple Texas shows with Stones Throw crew [Peanut Butter] Wolf, J Rocc & Guilty Simpson," Stones Throw wrote in a recent quick-strike press release accompanying Sandman's latest non-album Soundcloud loosie. '"Nonbelievers" produced by EL RNTC. The photo used here is courtesy of Province photographer James Soldan, who got this shot out at Boom Bap Festival. See below for a playlist of a few of the singles Sandman has dropped in the past year," which additionally includes "Arrows," "Holiday," "Problems," and Jonwayne-produced "America, The Beautiful." Although there's currently no word as to where a few of Homeboy Sandman's album-worthy, wordplay-laden non-album singles may ultimately end up re-appearing, he's previously worked with Your Old Droog producer EL RNTC on their collaborative Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent EP. And for what it's worth, my friends: Homeboy Sandman's entirely Blu-produced surprise released and now, mysteriously disappeared America-sampling homeboy sandman is the sandman ep was without a doubt, amongst one of the strongest Hip-Hop projects from 2014-early 2015.
