Homeboy Sandman & Deca are proud to announce their co-headlining US tour in August 2022!
Rapper/producer Deca has just released his tenth studio album Smoking Gun. Deca’s streak of entrancing releases continues with Smoking Gun, an album that deftly blends psychedelic, raw production with sharp insights and clever lyricism. But it’s also much more than that. Smoking Gun is a sonic representation of an artist grappling with living in America, a country with a network of broken systems that leaves Deca questioning when and if it may turn around.
For years, Homeboy Sandman has delivered timeless projects exhibiting his imaginative flows and thought-provoking lyrics. He’s fresh off the release of his Illingsworth-produced EP There In Spirit, a 7-track masterclass in top-notch production and elite-level lyricism. Now, the prolific MC is back with a new mixtape I Can’t Sell These, due out June 24th. The mixtape showcases Homeboy Sandman rapping over some of his favorite songs, film scores, & television intros; anything that he really loves and that moves him to write (but that he can’t sell because he doesn’t have the rights).
Homeboy Sandman and Deca are excited to hit the road together this August. “I love Deca’s new record Smoking Gun. It’s smart and brave and encourages independent, and accurate, thought. I’m grateful to be touring with him,” states Sand. The pair have two collaborations together including “Dawn Wind” from Deca’s new album and their 2021 single “All Because of You (Infatuated Duke)” which received critical acclaim from FLOOD Magazine, Earmilk, Central Sauce, and more. Deca concludes, “Homeboy Sandman's a true one of one. A phenomenal rapper, Scrabble titleholder, and a great human. I'm honored to hit the road with him.”
Lisa Vazquez is an Argentinian hip hop / soul producer, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist who was raised in Portland, OR, but is now holding it down in Los Angeles, CA. She pushes a neo-classic hip hop sound by blending 90’s boom bap, jazz, soul, funk, and Afro-Latin for a hypnotic brew that will make your head nod and speakers thump. Equipped with an MPC, you will be nothing short of impressed with her charismatic energy, live vocal looping, intricate finger drumming, beat layering, and sultry vocals paired with strong lyricism.
Homeboy Sandman
A versatile talent who has checked every last box: Unsigned Hype in The Source, Chairman’s Choice in the XXL plus critical acclaim from Pitchfork to Rolling Stone. His latest album Dusty on Mello Music solidifies his status as one of the most talented wordsmiths in the game with a dizzying array of lyrcicism over beats laden with surface noise and grit.His solo catalogue is sterling and over the last two years he’s mastered the group dynamic in tandem with fellow legends Aesop Rock and later, a brilliant psychedelic slab done in union with Edan.
