B. Dolan's new song "Film The Police" is a reworking of NWA's 1988 classic "Fuck the Police." You could say the song is a response from the current digital generation to the national outbreaks out police brutality in recent years. As abounding technological advances allow a vast proportion of the populace to become amateur videographers and photographers, B. Dolan, Toki Wright, Sage Francis, and Jasiri X call for today's activists to film the police and document their wrongdoings and injustices. B. Dolan: "Film The Police ft. Toki Wright, Jasiri X, Buddy Peace & Sage Francis " [...]
Rather than get, erm, as aggressive as their inspiration for "Film the Police" - I'm talking about N.W.A., of course - B. Dolan and his cohorts have taken another approach. They're asking you to take photos and video of police brutality to share with the world in an effort to shed some light on this ongoing global injustice. And they have done so with an ill track - it features Sage Francis, Toki Wright , and Jasiri X - and an even iller music video. Hit the skip to stream/download the track and watch the [...]

Photos by Anthony Saint James In the world of rap characters, Sage Francis is as unique as they come. Well versed in the arts of spoken word and freestyle battling, Sage has earned a cult following through years of operating with an independent mindset. As an underground fixture, Sage has built a reputation for his cerebral approach to crafting rap songs stacked with clever wordplay, mind boggling rhyme structures, and-even when cloaked in sarcasm, punchlines, and irony-a point. He'll be the first to admit that sometimes people take him too seriously, so [...]

Is there any better time than now to drop a mixtape featuring Sole 's best/most politically charged music? I'd think not, and neither did he as yesterday he released Dispatches From the American Fall . It's a 23-track collection featuring material from the past decade along with a few new surprises and treats. For one, there's a remix of the Lil B -assisted "Captain Bad Swag", which originally appeared on this summer's excellent Hello Cruel World . If you're feeling political/revolutionary, then look no further. [ via ] Hit the skip to [...]

Scroobius Pip's work with Dan Le Sac has produced some of the finest hip hop of the past 10 years but listening to Pip's 2007 debut "No Commercial Breaks" often left me wondering what the end product would be like if he were to vary up the producers behind the desk once more. Well, I need wonder no longer as his second solo outing "Distraction Pieces" has arrived. With a mini whirlwind of hype surrounding debut single "Introdiction" , the bar was set high and second single "Let Em Come" maintained the [...]
Sage Francis might be my favorite MC. That's a tough crown to hand someone, in a genre that has mattered so much to me for so long. I won't do it today (though he was the only hip hop artist to place two tracks on my 100 Best Songs of the Decade Countdown). But Sage Francis is definitely [Read Full Post...]

SAGE FRANCIS, THE METERMAIDS, SADISTIK ( Roseland , 8 NW 6th) Last October, limber-tongued emcee Sage Francis brought a tear to many a backpacker's eye when he announced he was hanging up the mic and quitting touring. Thankfully Francis came to his senses, because the longstanding rhymer has established an inspiring career from his intense live sets. No need to quit the game when you are running it.
