Homeboy Sandman - Illuminati
Artist: Homeboy Sandman
Producer: J57
Album: First Of A Living Breed
Label: Stones Throw
With the end of the calender year on the horizon, its always fun to look back at the trends and topics that arose throughout the past 365 days. On that note, did anybody have a better year than the Illuminati? I mean, how many times was the Illuminati supposedly connected to a handful of the biggest names in hip-hop? While artists and hip-hop heads may casually reference the Illuminati, Homeboy Sandman really wrestles the conspiracies and social injustices that surround the mysterious group on his new single. J57’s airy, synth heavy beat sets the stage for Homeboy’s pensive, astute social commentary, which is delivered with an understated, spoken word-like flow. Adding to the eerie vibe is a set of powerful visuals composed by directed Bunny Bread. For more hip-hop that will make you think, check out Homeboy’s album First Of A Living Breed, available now via Stones Throw.

Homeboy Sandman cures what ails this genre at times - a total lack of creativity and imagination. Dope video.

This was a step up for Homeboy. "Sputnik" left me wanting more and I definitely think Sandman delivered nicely on this one. The video was sick and the verses and production accompanying the track were cool as well. Solid stuff.

His flow was good, but with the beat it was kind of awkward for me. The beat was good, but it didn't go well with the flow for me. Good lyrics though.

Really tight lyrical work by Homeboy Sandman and the beat is simple so you can really pay attention. Lots of true talk on this.
