No rapper mortal man can twist words like Boy Sand. Hailing from Sandman‘s recent EP, Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent,”Men Are Mortal” is among the most dizzying examples of the Queens MC’s skills. As he jumps rope in ultra-slo-mo, Sandman‘s motormouth bends the rules of space time to spit rhymes as dense as anything DOOM or Earl has ever spit, with a faster pace and wider scope than either has ever arguably used. Sandman begins his second verse, “I been the infamous since drinking Enfamil / Whomever want to cause an incident I be like “It’s a deal” / I’m not interested in spending an instant with the infidels / Can tell I used to read Fidel and rock Big L / My city’s like the citadel, my fears were quelled the day ceiling fell /My bros and sisters such are sitting ducks and that’s not sitting well / I sit and dwell…” and it just continues to avalanche from there. Men are mortal, Homeboy Sandman is a freight train.
