Riff: Homeboy Sandman – “Problems”

Sep 2, 2014

Other genres you don’t even really have to rhyme/Can’t even understand what cats be saying half the time/Kurt Cobain you couldn’t understand shit/That shit was hot though I ain’t tryna diss/Too late, y’all already pissed/I guess I got problems

from Problems lyrics by Homeboy Sandman

Reaching into a dark corner can yield mixed results – sometimes all there is is more darkness while other times a small glimmer of light. Both provide truth, and are wellsprings of inspiration for the self-deprecating. Mellow it out with a sleepy, cognac-infused beat and you’re ready for rock bottom.
