Mello Music Group Releases Music Video for "Conjugal Visit to The Prison of The Mind" from 2014 Blu-produced EP Homeboy Sandman is the sandman


"Homeboy Sandman's favorite song is "Knocks Me Off My Feet" by Stevie Wonder. His second favorite song is "I Know You, I Live You" by Chaka Khan. His favorite Michael Jackson song is "Lady In My Life." He prefers [A Tribe Called Quest's] Low End Theory to Midnight Marauders, but adores both," details Sandman's Bandcamp page. Homeboy Sandman's two most recent albums—Dusty produced by long-time collaborator Mono En Stereo (formerly rthentic RTNC) and Don't Feed The Monster entirely produced by Quelle Chris—were released by Mello Music Group. Prior to those aforementioned 2019-20 releases, Sandman had long been signed to Stones Throw Records, who issued his albums First of A Living Breed, Hallways, Kindness for Weakness, and Veins between 2012-17.


Stones Throw additionally released a handful of Homeboy Sandman EP's including Chimera, Subject: Matter, All That I Hold Dear, Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent, White Sands, his LICE/LICE TWO: STILL BUGGIN'/TRIPLE FAT LICE EP series with Aesop Rock, and most recently, Humble Pi with Edan. We've always been fans of Sandman's constant stream of output, however, our personal favorite release of his is a lesser-known collaborative EP with Blu briefly released on Bandcamp back in about 2014. homeboy sandman is the sandman, as it was dubbed, featured four quick-strike songs all produced by Blu himself with Homeboy Sandman handling the emceeing throughout. These days, it's widely unavailable across The Internet, but we still have homeboy sandman is the sandman Saved within our Bandcamp Collection.


It's currently set to PRIVATE, Blu & Homeboy Sandman's collaborative EP features "Sandman" cleverly built around an America sample, "Sunshowers," "Conjugal Visit to The Prison of The Mind," and "Poet" featuring lone guest emcee John Robinson. We've always wondered what ended up happening to homeboy sandman is the sandman these past seven years and it seems, now, we may, actually, be closer than ever to getting some answers. Monday morning, Mello Music Group (@MelloMusicGroup) Tweeted: "Homeboy Sandman is busy finishing a monumental video for his Don't Feed The Monster album [with] @QuelleChris, but while the editors are locked away working magic, he took to the streets for some community good vibes [with] this @HerFavColor-produced bonus."


Mere minutes earlier they had premiered the attached music for... you guessed it, "Conjugal Visit to The Prison of The Mind" ON YOUTUBE!!?

It appears as though, only time will tell, but we have reached out to both Homeboy Sandman & Mello Music Group for comment.
