If you haven't read a book since high school and you're more than five years removed chances are Homeboy Sandman is not for you. The lyrically imposing emcee is not for the average A-B-C Hip-Hop fan. His clever rhyme schemes and creative conceptualization on Nourishment (Second Helpings) make the mixtape one of the best I've heard this year.
If you believe you can make it then "Buttermilk" is exactly what you need. On the track Boy Sand shows his lyrical prowess over a smooth trumpet carrying the beat. The Queens emcee turns into an anchorman on "Kain News" where he gives listeners a satirical broadcast of today's pundit-filled uninformative news; covering everything from crime to the sorry ass New York Knicks.
The half-Puerto Rican/Dominican emcee earns points with YaBoy by using Latin vibes on "We Can Fly" where the use of arpeggiated guitar chords common in Dominican bachata dominate the beat. On "Guerra" (War) Homeboy implements a Spanish language hook to let adversaries know he's prepared for drama.
Here are a few bars from Boy Sand on "Extreme Measures,"
Like I was Tom Cruise on a Mission Impossible/Dropped out da roof, cock back da tool, pass pop pops round the room...
I'm a lowa the boom like the boys in blue/Ya'll gonna be da Amadous, I'm a do what I gotz to do.
Overall Homeboy Sandman's Ivy League intellect and hood wit earn Nourishment a passing grade.
