"We're in the hands of a master lyricist...A distinctive raw talent is emerging"
Product Description Francis is one of the
most controversial, gifted, and innovative MCs today. For nearly a
decade, his relentless DIY approach--equal parts eloquent poet and
vicious MC--brings a style that smashes genre boundaries. His music is
rooted in classic hip-hop, but he comes across like an amalgam of
Dylan, Lou Reed, Chuck D, and George Carlin. Introspective but
aggressive, politically incisive but funny as hell, "A Healthy
Distrust" is Sage's first Epitaph release. Eclectic and complex.
Features collaborations with Will Oldham, Danger Mouse, and Alias.
