Homeboy Sandman, (alias Boy Sand, alias Homeboy Hundred, alias Boy De La Croix), born Angel Del Villar II, enjoyed humble yet proud beginnings while coming of age in Elmhurst, Queens. The first generation offspring of Dominican (father) and Puerto Rican (mother) immigrants, he adores Spanish cuisine and women.

An avid fan of DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, Boy Sand began rhyming at the tender age of 9, and since has continued to hone his skills under the tutelage of such masters as Black Thought, Mos Def, Redman, Eminem, and Jay-Z. Boy Sand is often confused as somebody who doesn’t like anything “commercial,” when in actuality he’s just somebody who doesn’t like anything that’s whack. Boy Sand also believes that all of the corny stuff being popularized, as opposed to the dope stuff that would definitely blow up if it was only played on the radio, is part of a larger conspiracy to brainwash the black youth into aspiring to criminality, among other negative things. When Boy Sand says black he means all of us.

Boy Sand is the intercontinental traveler. A commitment to academic excellence has afforded him the opportunity to travel throughout the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean. He continues to stress to the youth that if you do well in school, people will throw stuff at you for free your entire life. You can chase tail and cut class during high school if you want to, or you could focus and then you’ll get to chase tail and cut class during college which is much more productive. That’s where all the real tail is at and you don’t really need to go to class anyway. The moral of the story is that the next level is always better then your current level. Come meet Boy Sand at the NEXT LEVEL.
Mets not Yanks. Knicks. Giants but the Jets are cool. NY City.

Other than that he prefers to let his music speak.

Peace peace.
