Homeboy Sandman Kindness For Weakness

Homeboy Sandman is set to release Kindness For Weakness, his
third full-length album on Stones Throw Records. The album's title
comes from Sandman's internal insight that "mistaking kindness for
weakness is a weakness I need to have more kindness for". One of
Sandman's most poignantly lyrical releases to date, the album centres
on the MC's discomfort in his comfort zone, and addresses themes
such as his personal insecurities, rapper stereotypes and morality.
The prolific Queens MC has been prominently published in Gawker
and the Huffington Post. In an extensive feature in The Guardian, he
stated "I don't want to write something to be a conversation piece. It
has to help change something".
Since signing with Stones Throw Records in 2011, Homeboy
Sandman has made himself at home with 3 full-lengths, a series of 5
short records and, most recently, a free EP with collaborator Aesop
Rock (who has a guest feature on Kindness for Weakness) named
Lice, which includes a remix by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. With
Kindness For Weakness, Sandman has once again established
himself as one of the most productive and creative lyricists of this
generation.
