Homeboy Sandman & Illingsworth Keep It Groovy on Dancing Tree

Homeboy Sandman and Illingsworth are back at it again, this time with a project designed to get listeners moving. Their latest EP, Dancing Tree, is a four-track collection that swaps out hard-hitting bars for feel-good grooves, proving that the underground rap scene can have just as much fun as the mainstream. This isn’t the first time these two have teamed up. Their 2022 EP, There in Spirit, took a darker, more aggressive approach. Dancing Tree, on the other hand, is all about lighthearted energy and funky production. Illingsworth lays down soulful, bouncy beats, while Homeboy Sandman delivers witty, laid-back rhymes that feel effortless yet engaging. At just 13 minutes long, Dancing Tree is a short but sweet experience. It’s a project that feels like two artists genuinely enjoying the creative process, and that energy is contagious. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering their chemistry, this EP is worth a listen.
