Note:
No. I haven’t listened to it all yet. I just saw it was available and immediately wanted to share it with you. The three singles that were released earlier and OnlyOne’s previous works alone merit that you download this FREE release. So stop hemming and hawing and get this one on are your hard drive immediately. I will do a more proper write up later, but for now just enjoy the music.
Cult Classic 2 is slated to drop on August 20th. I can’t wait. This track showcases not OnlyOne’s business but also that of Sandpeople cohorts, IAME and Goldini Bagwell. It’s dope through and through, but the beat by THNDRTHF is certainly worth noting. It mixes clashing symbols and a diverse amount of electronica. It lends the necessary amount of paranoia to the song.
HHD is really proud to bring you this artist spotlight from Goldini Bagwell. I have been following his work since the early inception of the Sandpeople. His superlative skill, creative knack, and unique wordplay made him an easy choice for this month’s selection. His recent release, Secondhand Smoke, produced by Pmpee just dropped and was reviewed here a few weeks ago made the timing even more perfect. It’s a great read, so without boring you to death with my introduction…

Note:
The most unique member of the Sandpeople crew, Goldini Bagwell, has finally released the sequel to his criminally slept on Chainsmoke album. And while not as deep in terms of the number of tracks on the project, it’s equal in it’s artistic potency.
Once again the production is fielded by Pmpee Beats out of Finland (I think, no for sure. He’s from Finland). The cohesion between producer and emcee at this point is seamless. They now have two projects under their belts and the two are always on time and in sync throughout the course of each song.

Alright! Goldini Bagwell’s Secondhand Smoke gets the visual treatment and a morbid ending at that. Dope song…dope visuals…from a dope crew. Right now, Sandpeople are one of the few crews who are consistently putting out dope music from a variety of members. If you are not a fan, you are not a friend. The new EP will be available May 7th…just so you know.
New music from Goldini Bagwell is always a good thing. He’s the most unique member of the Sandpeople camp stylistically. This is the initial single for his forthcoming SecondHand Smoke project. Production comes from Chase Moore and Hippie Sabotage. The track is laid back, yet well written.
Getting back into the regular swing of things and unleashing more Sandpeople goodness. I missed hearing Goldini Bagwell in 2012. After hearing Chainsmoke in 2011, I was anxious to hear more material, but alas 2013 is upon us and he has more tunes to offer us but before he get to his new album, Second Hand Smoke, we get to hear this new remix from the aforementioned album by DaiN.
Another nice joint released from Portland’s Sandpeople crew. This song is lifter from Al-One’s forthcoming album, #Work. I am really glad to see a lot of music coming from the camp in 2012. Eviction Notice features Goldini Bagwell and Sapient.

By now, everyone should know that I feel the music from the Sandpeople. And while my favorite album from the collective is Goldini Bagwell’s, Chainsmoke, my favorite member is OnlyOne. I am impressed by the way he puts together his rhymes and controls the pace of each track. He never seems rushed, no matter the tempo of the song. He always sounds comfortable rocking the mic. It’s never complex, but rather unique.

In preparation for the end of the year accolades posts, this will probably be my last album review…probably. And because I am reviewing Mr. Bagwell’s, Chainsmoke, you know it has to be good or else I wouldn’t waste my breath on it. Not only, is it good, it’s outstanding.
