Interview: Homeboy Sandman

October 01, 2010


Queens native Homebody Sandman is as dexterous as he is funny, an awesome, prolific rapper who's super-smart even whilst clowning around. His videos alone are enough to keep him on the brain—like, how could you forget a dude who shoots lasers from his hands, or employs backwards-running diapermen to illustrate a point. But it's easy to get nestled inside his flow, his scrape-y voice weirdly comforting even when he's rapping at 160 mph. On the cusp of two new albums and an upcoming appearance at Atlanta's A3C Festival, we chatted with him about his forthcoming projects, Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince, green smoothies, and various other matters of import.
