Homeboy Sandman has announced that he’s gearing up to drop a new album called 12 Days of Christmas & Dia De Los Reyes.
The new project, which will drop via Dirty Looks, arrives in its entirety on January 6, but Sandman announced that starting on Christmas day he’d be dropping a new single every day for 13 days straight.

The first single that was released on Sunday (December 25) is titled “First Day of Christmas,” followed by “Second Day of Christmas” on Monday (December 26) and “Third Day of Christmas” on Tuesday (December 27).
Check out the first three tracks from the project below:
The new project, which will be the New York rapper’s first full-length release since Still Champion earlier this year, will also be Sandman’s first multi-producer outing since his 2017 album Veins.
“I’ve been on the one producer per release tip since Humble Pi. 5 years,” the rapper said in a statement. “Edan, Mono En Stereo, Quelle Chris, Aesop Rock, Illingsworth, and Deca. Those are some amazing producers but it feels good to mix it up again like I used to.”
12 Days of Christmas & Dia de Los Reyes will be the first full-length release on Homeboy Sandman’s own imprint, Dirty Looks.
“I’m excited about Dirty Looks’ first full length release,” he said. “The team is filling out nicely, we’ve got GAM as our official recording engineer and GAMBODIA as our official studio. We’ve got Darko the Super as our official mix engineer. And we’ve got our art director Lukas Baron who cooked up a different fly visual for each of the 13 singles.”
Along with the new album, Homeboy Sandman also announced he’ll soon be hitting the road. The Florida Expedition Tour will kick off in Jacksonville, Florida on January 27, before heading to Miami, West Palm Beach, Tampa, and Orland0. The tour will be supported by Boston rapper E-Turn.

“I’m hyped about that Florida run,” Sandman added in his statement. “I love Florida. I love beaches. I love sun. I love the fans there, we always get nice and sweaty. Those that know me best know that at heart I am a tropical creature (big shout my boy Rob Sonic).” Tickets and event information are available here.
