Sandflower to bring catchy, dance-rap to Pianos on 7/18

On her latest track "BUMP!," Brooklyn emcee Sandflower wants to see people do just as the song title suggests, bump and grind all night long. Considering the quality of her rapping and the Latin-inspired beat backing her, it’s likely she’ll see her wishes come true whenever this track is played.  The production is devilishly simple, comprised solely of staccato drum grooves, grimy synth patterns, and alarm-clock-like samples that are sure to tap into adrenaline reserves and get bodies in motion. Sandflower’s monotone vocals, reminscent of Atlanta’s rapper Father, make for a nice contrast with the raucousness of the beat, getting a boost when Migs Migster joins her own the track’s simple hook. This now makes two quality tracks for the young Brooklyn emcee, the other being "Do Whatchu Wanna." You can see her live when she performs at Piano’s on 7/18. — Henry Solotaroff-Webber
