The former Re-Up Gang henchman Sandman drops his own release, Mt. Crushmore. Hit the break. Read the rest of this entry »

Sandman’s been making a push for his upcoming Mt. Crushmore mixtape but my chances of listening to it have been minimal given the amount of material released over the past two weeks. If “Armed & Dangerous” is an indicator, the project should be everything expected: Read the rest of this entry »

Despite his name, Sandman never sleeps and seems to be consistently working. Read the rest of this entry »

In all honesty, Sandman had never really caught my ear outside of his work with the Re-Up Gang, but his latest track to hit the net, “Just A MC,” is tough. The drum pattern grabs the listener’s ear immediately with a rambunctious combination of punchy kicks and dry snares that the Philly MC proceeds to ravage through like a speedboat in a creek.

Maybe after his last release, Sandman is able to find his game again and hit us with some fire. If this track is representative of what is coming it’s a good start. Read the rest of this entry »

What a juxtaposition.

First a Clipse tape, then a Sandman tape. In the big scheme of things, add this with Sand’s last tape & you have more material in a six month span than dude was allowed to release during his whole tenure as a member of Re-Up Gang. Not a bad break in the big scheme of things. I guess the same could be said for Roscoe too, but son had his own share of self-imposed hiatuses here & there.

As my Uncle Jr. says “I’d rather go to Hell on my own than to follow the crowd into Heaven.”

Word up.

So…Sandman is apparently leaving Re-Up Gang.

Am I the only one who’s not surprised at all?

I half expected it to happen sooner upon realizing how “established” San was, solo. After he missed a couple of pivotal promo appearances for that disgustingly underwhelming album (eugh © Pusha), it became clear that Sandman had both feet outside the door and Read the rest of this entry »

Sandman has decided to be his own “Anchor,” actively pushing his new mixtape & just dropping this video for the track.

So what the Re-Up Gang album was a slight bore?

I was only in it to hear Sandman anyways. Seems like he heard my cries & decided to release another mixtape. Read the rest of this entry »

Words by Khalid Strickland

Some of life’s pleasures are best kept simple: rum & Coke, dinner and a movie, T&A. Lyrically, there’s nothing primitive about Malice and Pusha T, the blood brothers who make up Virginia rap duo, the Clipse. However, they have a rudimentary musical formula: Hard-ass beats and skillful rhymes about pushin’ weight. It’s a recipe that made albums like the platinum-plated Lord Willin’ and the masterful Hell Hath No Fury so appealing. To tide over the fiends eagerly awaiting their next cook-up, Malice and Pusha T have partnered with Koch Records to release Clipse Presents: Re-Up Gang. The Clipse make up one half of Re-Up Gang; the other members are Philadelphia rappers Ab-Liva (of Major Figgas fame)  and Sandman. But instead of a full fledged Re-Up Gang compilation, the quartet take the easy way out, rehashing plenty of material from their latest mixtape, We Got it 4 Cheap: Vol. 3.
