Angel Del Villar II, professionally known as Homeboy Sandman, has had a long-standing music career by virtue of his exceptional work ethic and dedication to the craft. He has released timeless projects with prominent record labels such as Stones Throw, Rhymesayers, and Mello Music Group . Throughout this time, Homeboy Sandman’s life has been composed of many diverse stages, both good and bad, all of which is reflected in his music. These life phases have led him to the latest chapter in his career and led him to create his new album. Recorded over the past three years, Rich is Homeboy Sandmanís greatest project to-date, his magnum opus. The inspiration behind the album is layered in introspection and personal growth, a struggle that lead him to the realization that he is rich. The true meaning of “rich”which he defines as, “God. Love. Freedom. Talent. Magic. Health. Truth.” Walking with God, being free, finding oneself and finding love is what real richness is.” Rich is fully produced by New York beatmaker Mono En Stereo, whom Homeboy Sandman has frequently collaborated with in the past and whom he considers to be his twin flame. Mono - known for his work with Your Old Droog, Prodigy, De La Soul, Action Bronson - delivers a masterclass in beatmaking providing a wide variety of soundscapes throughout the 11-track album.
