Sage Advice In and around 2004, I was listening to a lot of hip hop. There had been a lot of it circulating my collection, but nothing life-changing. I’d recently recorded vocals over an instrumental track, and the song that I made was unlike anything I had been listening to. But it was exactly like what I wanted to listen to. I was chatting with a friend about hip hop one night and I sent her my song. It reminded her of Sage Francis.

I had no idea who that was.

Since then, I've found that Sage Francis is among the most intelligent lyricists of our generation. He is dynamic, thought-provoking, and intense. If you like your music to have deep context, you'll find nothing deeper than him.
