Sage Francis is one of underground hip-hop's leading men. He hails from the relatively local region of Providence Rhode Island. On his three albums,
Personal Journals, A Healthy Distrust, and
Human The Dance of Death, he has delivered incredible lyricism combined with interesting beats, utilizing a variety of influences from differing musical styles. Sometimes he goes with traditional drums, bass, and a programed keyboard, but others he delivers his words over ominous sounding string background. The lyrics, though not without their sense of humor, are often very emotional.
Sage Francis' new album Li(f)e comes out on May 11th. After this, he will go on tour supporting it with The Free Moral Agents, stopping at the Middle East in Cambridge on May 12. I'm certainly going, and if you're interested in different sounding rap, so should you.
An early song released from his new album called "The Best of Times" can be heard at this youtube link.
