Homeboy Sandman - Dia de Los Reyes
(From 12 Days of Christmas & Dia de Los Reyes album; 2023)
Boy Sand starts 2023 proper with a club banger, albeit a banger created for Fatman Saso's nightclub in Carlito's Way. The unlikely scenario where Homeboy Sandman is the missing link between Fatman Saso and Fatman Scoop! Times have changed. What happened to the Salsa? Where’s all that Cha Cha? Now everything is social media platforms, codeine, and dancers that don't dance. What a (Sand)man gotta come to when he finds a spicy Latin sample?
I know I wasn't the only person who shelled out money for the Carlito's Way soundtrack back in the 90s and was left fuming when Tito Puente's Para Los Rumberos wasn't on the album. Arguably the best song in the whole movie - no mean feat when the movie also included Santana's Oye Como Va, Cheryl Lynn's Got To Be Real, and The O'Jays' Backstabbers.

Didn’t realize this was off a just released album
He dropped a loosie a day over the 12 days of Christmas and then threw them all together as an album.
Sandman's best track off the new one. Dope!
Speaking of Carlito's Way, Cinema Sewer made a weird point how '93 was like a last hurrah for quality by various film makers. Don't agree with every example, but worth peepin', though:
Parts 1, 2 & 3.
Man... they definitely have a point with at least 90% of their examples 🤯
Some b-boy business!
