After a few year hiatus, Sage Francis is back with the 5th installment of his Sick Of series. As a huge Sage fan, I’m extremely excited for this!
I wasn’t sure if I would ever release another mix of this sort after the last one, but it’s been a couple years since my last official album and I’ve accumulated a large number of “left over” tracks that never found their way onto an official album. I also opened up the 4-track vault this year and was able to unearth some solid material that dates back to 1996.
My music career, as most people know it, essentially began with the Sick of Waiting mixtape in 1999. Now that I’ve typed that out I’ve realized that we’re essentially celebrating the Sick of mixtape series’ 10th birthday. Hot damn. It seems like just yesterday I was dubbing all the original tapes, cutting and pasting the album covers, writing out the album info on the stickers, and selling them hand-to-hand at shows. Time (f)lies. – Sage Francis

Sage is unquestionably my favorite artist of all time, and I’m thrilled to once again see a Sage post on 2dope. And to those who’ve lost track of his work, he’s got 11 albums under his belt by now, (13 if you count the 2 live ones). Granted the last one came out 2 years ago and in the hip hop culture that’s ancient, but its all 5 star material.

I’m fully clothed in this cock tease moment
The last cigarette sits between my lips but I will not smoke it
And while it dangled I got strangled by a secondhand
Broke the rope, held my breath, and let my chest expand
