"Sandman Says Re-Up Gang Split, Talks New Solo Video" HipHopDx.com

by Jake Paine

Philadelphia rapper Sandman was a driving force in the Re-Up Gang's three acclaimed We Got It 4 Cheap mixtapes throughout the last five years. However, Tuesday afternoon, he told HipHopDX that after the mishandling of the group's self-titled album [click to read], he is focusing on solo endeavors.

"When it comes to my music, dog, this is what I love," said Sandman Tuesday afternoon. "I'm not tryin' to be a god-damned architect or nothin', or else I'd put my time into that. When you have a movement like the Re-Up Gang, something that came out of nowhere that was turned into a cult following, I just don't see how people dropped the ball on the last project. So it didn't make sense for me to stick around if shit ain't in my best interest."

He elaborated further, stating that a key point in his dispute was the album's video, which featured on The Clipse rapping. "It ain't in my best interest to put out a 'Fast Lane' video, after three years of nothing but street-driven music." The album the aforementioned single promoted added to the displeasure "We gave y'all three critically-acclaimed mixtapes just to give y'all this toilet bowl-ass album and their video. To me, it's unjust. The fans are onto it now too, 'Damn, that's it for the Re-Up?' 'Cause now all you hear about is [The Clipse' forthcoming album] Til The Casket Drops. The Re-Up Gang has been phased out; I guess I was just supposed to play along. I'm not no fuckin' nut!"

Acknowledging he was the last addition the longtime collaborating trio, Sandman says he defined the group as fans know it. "There is no Re-Up Gang. Before they added me, it was The Clipse and Ab Liva. That was it. That's what it's been reduced back to. Naturally, they've got to go around and promote the Re-Up Gang album now, 'cause it's out, and to be honest, I feel like I don't have to do that." Rather, furthering to statements he made two DX two weeks ago [click to read], Sandman disassociated himself from the Koch Records release. "I want to apologize again," he says to finds, comparing the release to his own affinity for EPMD's early catalogue. "What the fuck would I feel like if after three classic albums, they had that fourth album after the beats I just got [on The Clipse Presents: Re-Up Gang]. To me, I just don't think whoever - either Koch [Records] or The Clipse did not believe in this Re-Up movement. Or it didn't mean nothin' to them. What the fuck vision do you have that you'd squander this?

Sandman Discusses Re-Up Gang Album With HipHopDX.com

by Jack Paine
One fourth of The Re-Up Gang, some may not realize that Philadelphia emcee Sandman is hardly a new face to Hip Hop. Hailing from The Germantown/Logan section of the city, the man behind his Cannons Inc. company recorded a shelved album for Interscope Records at the top of the decade. With production by Timbaland, Trackmasters and longtime mentor Clark Kent, the album was never released.

After the popular mixtape-release, Philadelphia Ego, Sandman is just now unveiling his solo abilities in Gianormous, an album exclusively available through his website [click here]. The album includes the street single "Anchor" [click to listen]. "I look at Gianormous as my first solo release on this level. This is the farthest I've been, as far as Hip Hop is concerned." The artist continued about his patiently fought-out rise to stardom. "The timing couldn't be better. We just released the [Re-Up Gang] [click to read] album. It was hot on the press. I felt like it was a good time to follow up that with my solo project, because I had to keep it movin' as well." Sandman added that he's presently recording, and shopping for distribution for his Cannons Inc. imprint.

The aforementioned Koch Records Re-Up Gang album received less-than-favorable reviews in some outlets. Sandman also spoke on that, stressing his own confusion in the release. "People were hitting me up and [posting] on the Re-Up Gang website that [they] were disappointed in the album, saying it was regurgitated music and the tracks was crazy. It kind of caught me off guard as well, 'cause I didn't know [the album] was goin' down like that. I didn't know that all the beats was all gonna be replaced. Nobody told me. I heard it online. This is my first national release. I want to enjoy it, but every time I'm in the street or I'm on the block, I'm reading [bad reviews]. I just want to apologize to the fans." The album was promised to be a studio adaptation of the Re-Up Gang's acclaimed We Got It 4 Cheap Volume 3 mixtape [click to listen], with original production, the component that most reviews criticized. He added that the group had intended for "'20k Money Making Brothers On The Corner' was supposed to be the single, and we was promoting that. Then "Fast Lane" came out. I'm not mad at the song 'Fast Lane,' I just don't think it's the climate of the Re-Up realm."

Outside of the quartet, Sandman describes his style. "In the group, you've got to agree as a collective. When I'm solo, I do as I please. As a solo artist, I can go into more range. I can try to different things." The emcee noted his wisdom and versatility as well, something he says is prevalent on Gianormous.

Whether solo or with his Re-Up brethren, Sandman is noted for his distinct, baritone ad-libs, most notably "Cannons!" "When I met [Clark Kent], I was doing that on the Interscope album in 2000 and 2001. It's like [an equivalent] to "charge!" when I do it. 'Cannon!' is my team, my label. I see a couple people took to that. I see [Young] Jeezy liked that a lot," he added with a laugh. "At this point, man, what I do is so special, I can't even look at it like he jacked me or whatever the case may be," Sandman added, noting he passed out mass quantities of his CD during 2003's NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta.
