After listening to Black Moth Super Rainbow’s “Twin of Myself,” Homeboy Sandman was inspired to make Apple. He explains, “It was so beautiful and it had such a beautiful pocket it took top priority in my consciousness immediately.” Homeboy Sandman’s appreciation for the song prompted him to write the lyrics in under an hour before sending it to be mixed and mastered by Darko The Super. The title comes from the final lines of the song, “Nothing left for me to tackle, but trying to regurgitate the tree of knowledge apple.” Like all of his music, Apple is about Homeboy Sandman trying to rid himself of all the nonsense that has been put into his head, making him afraid and separating him from God. The artwork for Apple was done by artist and pop-culture aficionado, Gangster Doodles.

Apple is the first release from Homeboy Sandman’s upcoming mixtape I Can’t Sell These which will be available this Summer on Bandcamp. The mixtape showcases Homeboy Sandman rapping over instrumentals from songs, film scores, & television intros; anything that he really loves and that moves him to write. Consisting of around 20 tracks, Homeboy Sandman some of the instrumentals featured on the tape include Sault, Fiona Apple, Khruangbin, J Dilla, and more. All of the artwork surrounding the mixtape and the single releases are done by Gangster Doodles.
