Honestly this is the first Homeboy Sandman track I've been utterly blown away by. On "Seventh Day of Christmas" Homeboy showcases his ability elegantly blend poetry and emotion throughout his verses.

It's clear to see why this New York-based rapper has been praised by platforms such as Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and The FADER. Homeboy's lyrics are passionate and delivered in a manner that feels quite relatable, especially on this release. His flows and confident vocal delivery are complimented by a wonky rhythm section and the charm of dreamy synths.

"On “Seventh Day of Christmas,” Homeboy Sandman bares his soul to his partner, sharing his internal struggle of yearning for emotional closeness while also valuing personal space and distance from others", they share.
