Homeboy Sandman - Fully Equipped
Artist: Homeboy Sandman
Producer: The Clubhouse
Album: HomeBase Presents: Live at The Clubhouse Vol. 1
Label: Stones Throw
Though Homeboy Sandman‘s stage name is likely to ring a bell among loyal Booth readers thanks to his appearances on features by Fresh Daily and Soul Khan, a couple guest 16s hardly suffice to judge an emcee’s abilities. Today, the Big Apple buzzmaker’s back to prove that he is indeed Fully Equipped to carry a record on his own – and then some. The Clubhouse man the boards, serving up a chaotically catchy bass-percussion groove (complete with an unexpectedly pretty flute-accompanied outro), Homeboy busts out his most blistering flows as he burns through bar of free-associated freshness: “Lipton is brisk, rap listeners is pissed, no realer than this, gorillas in mist… y’all getting’ the gist, y’all catching my drift?” While fully sussing out the emcee’s train of thought may require multiple listens, the combo of stimulating rhymes and eccentrically dope boardwork should keep heads coming back for more. Not to mention, the dude can really hum. Those digging this innovative joint can hear more on HomebaseNYC‘s Live at the Clubhouse Vol. 1 compilation EP, scheduled to hit the ‘net Feb. 9.

For the last two years, heaps of our readers have suggested we give some "feature love" to Sandman. I'd say, "Tell him to send me his stuff." Well, finally I heard his material and its quite excellent. Though there is nothing infectious about his vocals, the production work, from The Clubhouse, over which Sandman raps could be enjoyed with or without an emcee. Very dope.

I agree, the production was a lot better than this Sandman guy. Haven't heard him before, but I'm not too impressed. I found his flow rather annoying, along with the lyrics, and if it wasn't for the work from The Clubhouse on the boards, this song may have never seen the finish line on my computer.

Obviously Sandman makes the kind of music that you just either don't connect with, or f**king love (in part because other people don't connect with it). I'm somewhere in the middle of those two camps, as I am on this feature. Definitely not the first thing you want to hear in the morning, but if I'm looking to spazz out in a slightly more artistic sense, I'm throwing this on

Sandman is on the verge of doing big things. This isnt my favorite track of his, but its a solid track nonetheless.
