Last year, Sage Francis did two full tours of the U.S., in addition to a summer stretch in Europe with Anticon representatives Sole and Themselves. He also became the first hip-hop act signed to Epitaph Records, and released the Non-Prophets album – Hope – on Lex, a subsidiary of Warp Records.
He’s planning to have a new live disc and his fourth rarities compilation ready for sale on the Fuck Clear Channel Tour. Both discs will be pressed on his own Strange Famous Records.
