| Info: | On Monday, April 25, 2005 Kapacity Entertainment proudly presents the enigmatic Sage Francis with special guest Mr. Dibbs. SAGE FRANCIS Epitaph Records // Non Prophets The 27 years old Sage is many things to many people –battle MC, spoken word poet, heart-draining confessionalist, old school revivalist, political dissident, DIY business expert - but if there’s anything he isn’t, it’s quiet. Sage Francis began rapping when he was 8 years old. By age 12 he was sneaking out to battle other Providence MCs, entering talent contests and learning the finer points of showmanship. In 1996, Sage recorded his first official demo tape. Within a year and a half, he’d have a live band, his own radio show on Rhode Island’s leading independent station, and a recording project with his producer friend, Joe Beats. The duo released a 12†under the name Non-Prophets in 1999 and managed to move a few thousand copies with virtually no promotion. That was, of course, the same year Sage won the Superbowl MC Battle in Boston, and only a few months before he’d head to Cincinnati to claim the 2000 Scribble Jam freestyle title, the highest honor in the hip-hop underground. He spent some time spinning beats at CBGBs for poetry slam events, and had his own spoken word featured in commercials on ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2 for the 2000 Winter X-Games. And somewhere in there he managed to pick up two degrees—an AA in communications from Massachusetts’ Dean College, and a BA in journalism from the University of Rhode Island. As perhaps the most outspoken lyricists to emerge from the Anticon camp, Sage Francis has paid dues many times over with several mix CDs releases, plus his critically acclaimed solo debut, Personal Journals, followed by the Non-Prophets’ Hope LP. His new sole release, A Healthy Distrust, is released by Epitaph Records and features production by Reanimator, Alias, DJ Dangermouse, Joe Beats, Daddy Kev, Sixtoo, and more. MR DIBBS Atmosphere's DJ // 1200 Hobos // Turntable Hardcore Also on the line-up for this highly anticipated event is the founder of the 1200 Hobos crew, Mr. Dibbs. More compositional and less-overtly dexterous than other DJs, Dibbs is the mastermind behind a multitude of solo tracks and mixtapes whose dense layers and deft scratching exudes a special, twisted brand of creativity, as well as the calling card of a man who spent endless nights perfecting each routine and production. This co-founder of Skribble Jam has released several successful mixtapes and battle records, has produced for numerous quality artists, and is the DJ for the group Atmosphere. Along with these two well-respected individuals, the Taking of Care Business CD Release Tour will be making a special stop in the nation’s capital for this event. SKRATCH BASTID, PIP SKID & JOHN SMITH are currently touring across Canada in support of their new CD and are really looking forward to this performance. Local support includes: Awaken (Derek Period, Vektrx, and Calkuta), Periodic Trends, and DJ Illo.
