Homeboy Sandman Drops New Single “Alchemy” Ahead Of Next Mixtape

by

Queens rapper Homeboy Sandman has enjoyed a lengthy career in hip-hop. However, the last few years have been his most successful in what has turned into nearly two decades of excellence for the MC. His 2023 album, Rich, received critical acclaim, and he followed that with Rich II this past June. In 2022 and 2023, he released two mixtapes, I Can’t Sell These and I Can’t Sell These Either, on Bandcamp. He recently announced a third, Nor Can These Be Sold (At Least By Me), which does not yet have a release date. “Alchemy” is the first teaser from Sandman’s newest mixtape, accompanied by a music video.

Homeboy Sandman raps over a track by the Japanese musician Doubutsu System, called “Night Wind,” a track that is also available on Bandcamp. It is reminiscent of old-school East Coast production. Sandman’s flow is equally similar to one a rapper from the 1990s might use on the track. The bars are a lyrical exercise, with Sandman sounding agile and motivated over the production. He touches on a variety of topics. Family, the idea of being rich, his skills as a rapper, and the perception that his fans have of him as an artist. Fans know him as a more serious MC who makes music in a similar lane to artists like Quelle Chris and Aesop Rock, but he insists that he can also let loose sometimes. In the video, he stops rapping after certain bars to add context or an explanation, which fans can read in the subtitles. Overall, it’s a single that fans of Homeboy Sandman are likely to be happy with. Stream the track below.

Homeboy Sandman – “Alchemy”

Quotable Lyrics:

Y’all know me for enlightening folks and throwing lightning bolts
But also known for telling silly jokes and feeding billy goats
You’ll find I’m way too kind to kill a roach
I never read the Times or read the Post
I had somebody ask me what I really gross, sounded really gross
I’m here to talk about my fears and hopes

Homeboy Sandman Is Back With His Trademark Flare On “Rich II”

by

The great thing about underground hip-hop is that there are so many unique personalities. There are a plethora of rappers who operate in this space and nearly every one of them brings an idiosyncratic style. One of those guys has to be Homeboy Sandman. The longtime Queens, New York lyricist has been steadily developing his mindset to the subgenre for nearly 20 years. Getting his start in the late 2000s, the 43-year-old has always been one to bring engaging material through his dry sense of humor. His goofy bars and ear for diverse instrumentals are what define him in our opinion, and it has allowed him to create an instant recognizable sound. Those qualities are all over the latest Homeboy Sandman record, Rich II.

If you have been following his career closely, you know that he likes to ride slightly off-kilter jazzy/boom-bap beats. They usually contain a faster rhythm along with chaotic drum patterns. Those are on Rich II as well and they help bring out some hilarious moments lyrically speaking. The flows that Homeboy delivers are also goofy at times, really accentuating the tongue in cheek bars. Earlier this year, we talked about a couple of singles, “Real Good” and “Do It Right”. They both do not land on this project. Instead, there is a good chance that we still get Year of the Dragon. A release date for it is still up in the air, so take a listen to Rich II in the meantime below.
