Sage Francis is your dad. You are attracted to him and repulsed at the same time. Whatever the case, a part of yourself originated in his testicals so please respect the cock. Since 1996, Sage Francis has embarked upon an impressive and successfully independent career based on lies and integrity. He won two major, national emcee battles (2000 Scribble Jam, 1999 Super Bown Battle) and this was before Eminem played a role loosely based on Sage Francis in 8 Mile. Francis was also a big component of the Poetry Slam scene before Def Poetry Jam stole his ideas and allowed Mos Def to appear as if he had a genuine interest in spoken word. He doesn't. Neither do you. Since 2000, Sage Francis has toured countless times around the world with fellow weirdos Atmosphere, E&A, Anticon, Buck 65, Grand Buffet, Prince Po, Mac Lethal and others. Multiple albums were released on his independent label Strange Famous Records, but Personal Journals was his first commercial release on Anticon Records in 2002. His next commercial release was with his group the Non-Prophets, released on Lex Records in 2003, and it was supported by a 40-city tour aptly titled "Fuck Clear Channel Tour." Francis recieved a lot of label attention due to his political nature, best captured on his timely release of 2001's Makeshift Patriot, which resulted in him being the first hiphop artist to sign to legendary punk label Epitaph Records. This spring he graced the cover of Urb Magazine and you can expect movie directors to take notice of his chiseled frame in no time. "The next time someone plays me in a movie it will be me," Francis told reporters after his performance at the DNC in Boston. His Epitaph album, A Healthy Distrust, will be released on Epitaph Records in February of 2005.
