Paul "Sage" Francis (born November 18, 1976 in Miami, Florida) is a artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. Noted for his intense flow and sharp wit, Francis has won acclaim both as a freestyle battler and as an unapologetic, intellectual lyricist. Francis uses a broad emotional palette to address a wide range of personal, cultural, and issues. His unconventional style and persona have given him crossover appeal, but at the same time alienated some hip-hop listeners. Read more about Sage Francis on Last.fm.

From last.fm:

Cecil Otter is a compelling musician for the same reasons he’s good with cards. The technique runs on charm, patience, intuition, and precision. Cecil is one of the founding members of Doomtree. As an emcee he’s admired for his lyric, cinematic style. He writes about love, vengeance, and redemption—and the spaces where the three convene. His narratives ride on his imagery: sepia flickers of loners, beauties, ghosts, and vagabonds. Read more about Cecil Otter on Last.fm.
