Homboy Sandman’s latest album “Still Champion” is HipHop dopeness from front to back period. I’ve been vibing to this joint since it dropped and I’m loving it. What I love most about it is it’s the first album I could let my little one listen to. Not one curse, not gun talk, no sex talk, just pure bars with a message of positivity, love, awaemess and lyricisim.
The other half of the album are the beats crafted by Deca which I absolutly love. Some of those beats had me pressing the repeat button several times. I also like the variety of beat styles he used which all fit Sandman’s style perfectly. Deca also spit some tight bars on the album. He kinda reminds me of a young ASAP Rock with his voice and flow.
Give this gem a listen and let me know what you think in comments below.
About Still Champion:
Following a 19-stop tour, the incomparable Homeboy Sandman and MC/producer Deca come together to release Still Champion, a ten-song masterpiece brimming with positivity, deliciously soulful production and enough affirmations to move a mountain.
After first being introduced to Deca’s music back in 2020 via mutual friend Matt Diamond (who sent him the Colorado MC’s single “Clay Pigeons”), Homeboy went on a deep dive, eventually discovering “Fairburn” off of the mostly instrumental effort Forest Agates. This beat became their first collaboration, “All Because of You,” which dropped in January 2021. The song perfectly set the tone of what was to come.
The LP serves as a spiritual apex (something Sand notes he hasn’t felt close to since his 2010 effort The Good Sun), with a victorious tone as he once again finds himself creating from a happy headspace.
