After the past decade and change, rapper Homeboy Sandman has built a career that's been defined by marching to the beat of his own drum. He's released albums on labels like Stones Throw and Mellow Music Group, and has collaborated with artists for full projects such as Aesop Rock, Edan, and most recently Quelle Chris, who produced the entirety of Sandman's latest album 'Don't Feed the Monster.' The Ivy League-educated emcee also had a stint as a blogger, publishing a series of essays and think-pieces for Huffington Post and Gawker, which raised eyebrows and caught the attention of the blogosphere due to his strong opinions and provocative perspective. This episode is an interview with someone who identifies themselves as Visitor or Angel, but there is no one else in the world better equipped to dive into the stories behind Homeboy Sandman's songs, which in this episode include:
"Nuts" ['Nourishment (Second Helpings)', 2007]
"Lightning Bolt, Lightning Rod" ('Actual Factual Pterodactyl,' 2008)
"Trauma" ('Don't Feed the Monster', 2020)
"Heaven Too" ('Hallways', 2014)
"Always" ('Dusty', 2019)
"Unforgettable" ('Subject: Matter', 2012)
"Fat Belly" ('White Sands', 2014)
