Homeboy Sandman
Thank you so much to Homeboy Sandman... better known to me as Angel for placing his stamp on the Nomad•ness Travel Tribe Movement with our new theme song! One of the dopest friends ever!!
'Nomadness, you ain't gotta ask where your ass is/ You be pulling out passports like hall passes'
As his tour begins to come to a close for the Fall, Homeboy Sandman drops a new hit off the recently released album 'First Of A Living Breed'. This man has been all over the country, with stops in Canadian land over the last two months. Today the Homeboy Sandman camp released the video for the new single 'Whatchu Want From Me?" I love this dude because he always fills his videos with friends, and the streets of NYC, when possible. I had a blast dipping and out a cameo spot, and I swear my airplane ring is getting famous.
Dope joint Angel.

#13 Homeboy Sandman & Fresh Daily "Table Cloth" from LIVE AT THE LOFT on Vimeo.
I was waiting for when I'd be able to see this footage. Dope night! Checking the first performance, the homie, Homeboy Sandman had since getting signed with Stones Throw Records. Again, extremely proud of this dude.
And a special shout out to Fresh Daily, performing with Sandman. All my 'Tribers' out there....Fresh Daily designed your Tribe logo (and he raps too)!
Homeboy Sandman- "Calm Tornado"
It's hard for me to write this piece objectively because I'm writing about not only someone I garner inspiration from, but also a friend. 'Homeboy Sandman' has been a part of this site's tag cloud for years now. Whether it was shooting him for the piece Okayplayer ran on him, or attending a show and watch him rip it like he always does...he's always been a light, from the first day we met.
I woke up to a Twitter message from the homie Jason, stating "Homeboy Sandman got signed ;)!"
I smiled. First thing I read waking up. This didn't completely surprise me, as I was just politicking with him a couple weeks ago, during which it was relayed to me that something was in the works.
Homeboy Sandman (and it's killing me not to use his gov't name, which I refer to him as) is one of the most confident, yet humble dudes I have ever met. A loyal fan base, and what I think they love about him, is what I've always admired: that he's tangible. You can catch him on the train, and always find him in a pair of sweat pants and kicks. Never one for trying to keep up appearences, you always just got...him.
As an admirer of his art, and a friend, my most heartfelt congratulations to Homeboy Sandman on getting signed with Stone Throw Records. You're already a legend, it's just time for the world to find out!

One of my favorites off the most recently released album The Good Son. "Yeah, But I can Rhyme Though". Of any album he's dropped, this is ultimately one of my favorite tracks period...Knowing him, I know that he has heard every SINGLE thing that he wrote about in this song. It's the most eloquent 'fuck you' I've heard an emcee create in a long time.
New music video by none other than the homie, Homeboy Sandman. Queens native brings a new feel with the single "Calm Tornado".
Check it out.
The homie, Homeboy Sandman does it again! Many of you know I am dear friends, an avid supporter, and co-conspirator with the underground hip-hop giant in NYC...the saga continues.
He has a video that preimered on mtvU. VOTE SO THAT IT STAYS THERE! Moves are made, I will do any and everything I can to support this man.
It's a movement...help support! Vote Homeboy Sandman's "The Essence".
Ps. Little random Evie fact...I co-hosted "The Freshman" when I was in college with a friend, Heather.
This is what happens when one of the dopest underground emcees in NYC, Homeboy Sandman
And one of the coolest photographers in NYC, Evierobbie Media (me)...
Get together with one of the most well recognized true hip hop platforms on the net Okayplayer,
and make magic...
As the email he sent me read....we're famous!!
