I just read about this on HipHopDX. It looks like Sandman has left the Re-Up Gang. Dude was basically tired of being in the side-show. I always liked Sandman’s shit. It’s just a bummer that this dude let one bad album ruin his career. I’m not saying no one is going to buy a Sandman album, but no one is going to buy a Sandman album.

Maybe I’m wrong. He could pull an Ice Cube. But, then again, Ice Cube was the most talented member of NWA. Oh Snap. I didn’t mean it like that. Keep your head up Sandman.

Maybe change that name…

After the jump is his solo video. Its actually really good.

{Plus: I haven’t posted this because of retarded internet set-up at UMBC, but there is a new season of ML Radio coming soon… and more posting from me. Since I have interweb now. New season starts next week.)

Sandman- Anchor

04/17/2008- Hip Hop In Potomac Basement
For this night we did ML Radio live in the basement of one the residence halls at the school. We had 2 DJ’s (Neobanzia and Joe Cool) and one MC (Grey Matter). We set up on a ping-pong table and Grey Matter just started ripping freestyles over the beats Joe Cool threw on. It was real hip-hop. We taped some of the freestyling and Joe Cool’s set.
[Neobanzai's set is coming soon.]

4/22/08- Ecofest (with Partners in Crime) doing “Lovers, Dreamers, and Me”
We helped a live show through our host radio station. This was some awareness for Earth Day thing. My friends Julie and Chris performed some of their songs. I got a T-Shirt.

4/30/08- A.M. Radio (The Return of Maria)
On this night I performed my role as DJ Triple Stack (my alter ego) on Alex’s show. For those that forgot Alex (pictured above) is my co-host on ML Radio. I had been standing in for his co-host (Maria [not pictured]) and she came back for one night only. Alex and Maria do most of the talking. I’m on the digital 1s and 2s. And yes, I already know I’m a bad DJ. Thats the hook of the show.

5/12/08- ML Radio (The Ruining)
To celebrate us (Me and Alex) becoming the heads of the radio station. We did an episode of ML Radio during exam week. We only ended up playing like 3 or 4 songs. Then we did a 20 minute freestyle. Pretty awful, cause I can’t rap. But somehow I ended up dissing Dice Raw, Jim Jones, T-Pain, and Lil Wayne. Some hilarious shit.

{Coming Soon}
-Concert we threw in front of the Radio Station.
-Neobanzai’s DJ Set.

Stay Safe.
