Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman

Lice is an american rap duo comprised of Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman. In a 2015 Westworld interview, Sandman explained the name: The truth is, Aes and I always have all these ideas crawling around our brains, and we wanted to share them with you. You may find that after listening to the project, it’s nearly impossible to get it out of your head. It’s only a matter of time before you share it with others. The duo released their first collaboration, Lice, in 2015 for free. In a 2017 Never Nervous interview, Aesop talked about the benefits of releasing free music: Hmmm. I don’t know? It just feels nice. I do a solo album and turn it in, and we spend many months figuring out how it’s gonna be presented. I do these free EPs with my guy and we can say “let’s drop this next week”. There’s a freedom to the whole thing that doesn’t exist when you’re worried about selling something. Plus people like free shit. The duo released two more installments of the Lice-series, 2016’s Lice Two: Still Buggin’ and 2017’s Triple Fat Lice, respectively. The two artists have also toured together and their music has continued to remain free—Aesop and Sandman have instead opted to use their platform to promote charities close to their hearts: On both Lice projects we decided to say ‘hey we don’t want money for this, but if you like it, consider tossing a coin in one of these directions… ’ We both picked different things each time. I grew up skateboarding and the things that Skateistan.org does are amazing. Sand’s choice felt awesome too and we received some videos of awesome kids out on sick fishing trips – psyched as hell. Feels good to help.
