Shark homie Homeboy Sandman with the new video from his “Chimera” EP, out now on Stones Throw. I’m posting this here because it’s dope and because this song has been a big help to me (baje) over the last week while dealing with some rough shit. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the drama of our own lives that we forget that the things we say and the things we create have real power and can have sincere, usable value to other people in our immediate communities and around the globe.

But in order for that to be true, we have to first be capable of speaking and creating from a mindset that places real value on giving a fuck. The world seems to have an endless appetite for rewarding the greedy and the powerful, but WE don’t have to play that game if WE don’t believe in it. The world as a whole will not reward US in the same way that it rewards the greedy and the powerful, but WE can certainly reward each other by supporting one another.

“Put up those mitts / Put up those mittens / You can stand that heat / Don’t get out that kitchen.” – Boy Sand
