Signed to highly respected LA beat/rap label Stones Throw, Homeboy Sandman’s first single from his upcoming album HALLWAYS rides a beat from Knxwledge. It captures the LA via Philly producer at his most relaxed and beautiful with a chiming, stuttering backdrop over the relatively simple drum programming. (My favorite Knxwledge beat tape is here) Homeboy Sandman follows suit with his languid flow and introspective lyrics. Although I’ve heard his name mentioned before, I’ve never taken the time to explore his discography, but “Problems” makes a compelling case to change all that. It’s one of my favorite Hip-Hop tracks released this year. HALLWAYS drops September 2nd. Stream below:
