About
Frontman of both Art Official Intelligence and Non-Prophets, Sage Francis is one of the underground's fastest rising (and most hated on) super-lyricists. Hailing from Rhode Island, he's taken top prize at several prestigious rap battles and poetry slam showdowns, and has been featured on commercials for the X-Games. His dramatic flow, diverse subject matter, and wordy rhymes have won him adoration amongst the so-called backpacker/internet-nerd sect, as have his collaborations with the like-minded heads at Anticon. Sage's solo endeavors include Still Sick, Sick of Waiting Tables, and Personal Journals. Though his hyper-literary rhyme schemes can get a bit intense on the ears, there is no denying his extraordinary verbal skills.
