Homeboy Sandman presents us with “Kool Herc: Fertile Crescent”, an 8-track release produced entirely by El RTNC (formerly knows as Rthentic – Mos Def / De La Soul). The record is an unapologetic homage to old school hip-hop in its barebones production, lyrical themes, cover art and even the title. With the blessing of DJ Kool Herc, one of the originators of hip-hop, Sandman pays respect to the pioneering DJ by proudly naming the release in his honor. Download the track “Dag, Philly Too” for free here (right click). Digital out now, vinyl ships in May. More about the release on Stones Throw.
