REVIEW | HOMEBOY SANDMAN DELIVERED FOR ALL HIP-HEADS AT THE JAZZ CAFE, LONDON

By SKANDOUZ . • On Reviews


Home­boy Sand­man along­side DJ Tru Mas­ter delivered a 90 minute Hip Hop show at a fero­cious pace

It has been about 5 years since we last saw Home­boy Sand­man at The Jazz Café. Dur­ing that time he’s prob­ably dropped about 5 pro­jects. There was lots of new mater­i­al we were hear­ing live for the first time, includ­ing the emo­tion­ally charged “Trauma” taken from his 2020 Album “Don’t feed the monster”.

The legendary MC flaw­lessly delivered over 20 lyr­ic­ally com­plex tracks show­cas­ing not only élite level Rhym­ing and deliv­ery but also his geni­us memory too.

I’m really enjoy­ing this time in the live Hip Hop scene where increased stand­ards of per­form­ance are the norm and emcees who are over 40 years old can rock a mic and keep us engaged for over an hour long without rely­ing on cliché troupes such as a hype man or the need for a 10minute DJ break!

The great thing about intim­ate shows at the Jazz Café is when the artists are happy to jump off stage and greet the fans after the gig at the merch table. Home­boy Sand­man was no excep­tion to this tak­ing the time to pose for pho­tos and sign vinyls.

My per­son­al high­lights from the show were the seam­less ways in which Home­boy Sand­man nav­ig­ated through some of his prime cuts and how DJ Tru Mas­ter gave us an unex­pec­ted Break dan­cing ses­sion to close the show.

The fol­low­ing two tabs change con­tent below.
