Homeboy Sandman performs “Fuel” Live in NYC.

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

Recently the folks over at All The Way Live shone the spotlight on this new Homeboy Sandman track that he performed as part of his NPR Soundcheck at WNYC. We figured it’s only right to spread the word and add some fuel to the fire.

Check out the audio below…

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Earlier this summer Homeboy Sandman performed as part of a Hip-Hop showcase that WNYC put together. Sand ripped his set as usual, but one of the highlights was this unreleased song, “Fuel”. His wordplay is rewind-worthy as usual.
