Title:	Personal Journals
Label:	ANTICON

Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	ABR 021CD

"Sage Francis, AKA Xaul Zan, AKA Strange Famous, member of the witness protection program, 2000 Scribble Battle MC Champ, 1999 Superbowl Battle MC Champ, and nationally ranked slam poet 1998 and 1999, is finally dropping an official, full length album. Sage or 'Stage Presence' has gained a reputation from ripping live shows with his emotionally intense songs, freestyles, and spoken words, but this album provides a comprehensive and definitive introduction to a very different kind of MC and person. Recorded over the period of a year, Personal Journals beautifully chronicles Sage's often times painful life -- from relationships to being an outsider. Sage has also employed a host of producers for beats on this album, including, Sixtoo, jel (Atmosphere, Deep Puddle Dynamics, them), mayonnaise, Joe Beats, odd nosdam, Mr. Dibbs, alias and more. This album is destined to be the reference point for emo-hip hop."

Title:	Makeshift Patriot
Label:	ANTICON
Format:	LP
Price:	$9.00
Catalog #:	ABR 027LP

"Makeshift Patriot was written, recorded and released free to the public exactly one month after 9/11/01. Consisting mainly of news reporter quotes, it is basically an attack on popular media and an indirect attack on its naīve audience. Makeshift Patriot contains six brand new Sage Francis tracks to follow up his critically acclaimed, debut album, Personal Journals. Featuring music from AOI, MF Shalem, Meaty Ogre, and a politically charged, spoken word track entitled 'Hey, Bobby', this piece of vinyl shouldn't be one of a kind in content or purpose... but it is."
