Homeboy Sandman, Sonnyjim

While pretty new to Stones Throw – his second six-track EP was just released by the veteran hip-hop imprint – Homeboy Sandman is by no means green. Active since 2007, this 30-something from Queens, New York has had string of impressive releases since his inception, and has been hailed as “New York City’s premier talent based hip hop emcee. Mainstream. Underground. Period.” along with being dubbed ‘Artist to Watch’ by Rolling Stone.
