Home / Sage Francis plays Madison, MPLS, Chicago – FEB 2012
Press
9 out of 10 - "Fallen House, Sunken City is raw, confrontational, honest, and futuristic — exactly what hip-hop should be." - Vital Reverb
8 out of 10 - "The timing for this B. Dolan album could not be more crucial." - Popmatters
"This album serves as the first big wake-up call to hip hop in 2010." -The Urbanian
"B. Dolan brings nothing but rawest, socially conscious rhymes I’ve ever heard spit." -Synthesis.net
"This duo is set to knock the dust off your boombox and slap you right out of your little sister’s pants. I’m going to go ahead and dub this the first great hop hop album of Twentyten." - LoyaltyBeyondReason.com
"B. Dolan and Alias set out to create a bass-heavy boom bap breaks record with politically charged spit fire, flipping Milk D and EPMD colloquialisms towards an activist slant." - Impose Magazine
"Backed by the appropriately maniacal, percussion-driven boardwork of Alias, the emcee delivers fragmented shotgun blasts of aggressively satirical lyrical ammunition" - DJ Booth (djbooth.net)
"B. Dolan has cursed me with repeating the same lines over and over again in my head since I met him. Come to Jamaica, come to Dubai. Damn you, B. Dolan. Shit knocks." - El-P
"4 out of 5 stars!" - Creativeloafing.com
"...Appealing even to those who don't share his political views, simply because Dolan is a compelling rapper who takes great care in his craft. Fallen House, Sunken City, is a blitzkrieg of boom-bap raps, rock beats and experimental structures. It holds together beautifully, thanks to the production of Alias." - Ben Westhoff, CreativeLoafing
"[B. Dolan's Live Evel] is one of the most important hip-hop EPs in years."-Popmatters.com
"Through Dolan's vociferous fragments you can almost hear the world unravel." -The Boston Herald
"Cocaine, Evel Knievel, Vietnam: we got goosebumps five minutes into this set and they pretty much stayed until Dolan was finished with his creepy, bangin', challenging work." -Seattlest.com

The Failure
"Through Dolan's vociferous fragments you can almost hear the world unravel." -The Boston Herald
"Dark and gothic, eerie and angry, no single piece is exactly the same and the welcome addition of guests like Sage Francis and Sole with production from Reanimator and Alias make this one an amazing masterpiece along the lines of Personal Journals. Very deep, very original and also a new favorite release of the year!" - accesshiphop.com- Full Review
