Homeboy Sandman is one of the most exciting recent additions to the Stones Throw roster. The New York MC has released two EPs of strung out, hyper-literate hip-hop on the California label, and has also turned in some excellent guest appearances (see particularly his verse on Gensu Dean’s recent ‘Ramesses’).
‘Look Out’ is the opening track from his latest EP, Chimera, and it is a pretty perfect indication of what it is that makes Sandman so special. The delivery, which sees cascading lines continuing, unbroken, apparently ad infinitum, is as fascinating as the odd lyricism – which itself provides a startling counterpoint to the Simple Minds-esque instrumental.
Chimera is out now on Stones Throw. Stream ‘Look Out’ below.
