Bar for bar, Homeboy Sandman is easily, one of the most talented and somehow still, criminally under-rated emcees in all of Hip-Hop! I've personally been a Sandman fan since his 2012 Stones Throw debut, First of a Living Breed and since, he's worked with the likes of Blu, Jonwayne, Paul White, Jake One, L'Orange, 2 Hungry Bros. RJD2, Mono En Stereo FKA El RTNC, 88-Keys, and maybe, most notably, Aesop Rock; between 2015-17, Aesop & Sand infested the masses with Lice, Lice 2: Still Buggin' and Triple Fat Lice to wide-spread critical and fan acclaim. While we're still waiting for a proper Lice full-length, Homeboy Sandman has teamed up with kindred spirit, Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, and emcee, Edan, for a brand spankin' new collaborative effort. Edan is arguably, one of the greatest and most eclectic artists in all of Hip-Hop and while he hasn't released a proper album since 2005's Beauty & The Beat, he's been moderately active and still very in-demand. In recent years, Edan has appeared on esteemed projects from Mr. Lif, Blu, DJ Format, Memory Man, Your Old Droog & Wiki, Cut Chemist, and Homeboy Sandman. Now, this is where the dots start to connect... Edan produced "Talking (Bleep)" from Sandman's 2016 amidst- Lice 2: Still Buggin' album, Kindness for Weakness. "Their collaboration took off from there: whenever they could find a few open hours, they'd write and record in Edan's Brooklyn studio," Stones Throw revealed within a recent press release. After posting "Success! Physical objects come soon..." along with a TEST PRESSING dated 7 / 16 / 18, Edan & Homeboy Sandman have returned to properly announce Humble Pi.


"We're serving Humble Pi," says Sandman. "Humble math. Pi is a magic number." Magic and humility, he says, can coexist. "From time to time, folks need a couple slices of humble pie as a reminder of real magic." Not only have we learned their collaborative full-length will be dropping on October 26, 2018, Homeboy Sandman & Edan have also, liberated the quasi-follow-up to "#NeverUseTheInternetAgain" with teaser single #2, "Grim Seasons." It fits right in with the moody, uniquely fresh sonic framework laid out by "Talking (Bleep)" and "#NeverUseTheInternetAgain" and personally, I can't wait to hear how Humble Pi will sound from front-to-back. "Grim Seasons" is accompanied by a starkly animated music video by Kagan McLeod with an almost watercolor-type feel to it; we don't get a glimpse of Homeboy Sandman & Edan until the last few seconds of "Grim Seasons," wherein they're dressed like 1940-50's soda jerks akin to Stones Throw's "#NeverUseTheInternetAgain" single cover. So, for the time being, enjoy "A SLICE OF HUMBLE PI" served up by Homeboy Sandman & Edan with the full course expected to be served up Friday, October 26th on Stones Throw Records. Plus, if we're led to believe Edan's own Facebook Biography section, " EDAN SEND FOURTH ALBUM [UNFINISHED] TO QUEEN OF ENGLAND; QUEEN OF ENGLAND GIVING TAPE TO MIKE LEWIS IN HEAVY PRESSURE SECRET. MIKE MAKE LABEL..."
