Artists

Atmosphere

For over two decades, Atmosphere has maintained a course of rigorous output, releasing over two dozen studio albums, EP's and collaborative side projects in as many years. In that time, the venerated duo have built a legacy out of bringing honesty, humility and vulnerability to the forefront of their music,continually challenging themselves to evolve without straying too far from their roots. Slug has proven masterful at storytelling and writing compelling narratives, leaving a trail of his own influence while paying homage to the rappers and songwriters that helped shape him. Ant has skillfully molded the soundtracks with inspiration from soul, funk, rock, reggae, and the wizardry of hip-hop's pioneering DJ's and producers, creating his own trademark sounds while providing the pulse for songs about life, love,stress and setbacks. At its essence, Atmosphere has been a musical shepherd, and with each new album comes a new journey as they guide generations of listeners through this thing called life.

Sage Francis

Sage Francis (CEO of Strange Famous Records) is widely considered one of our generation's greatest lyricists. His gifted wordplay creates vivid narratives to instigate as well as inspire, but it often derives from an accumulation of public disdain and personal turmoil. Francis originally earned acclaim in the early 2000's by winning the most highly coveted titles of the emcee battle circuit (Scribble Jam and The Super Bowl Battle.)This was coupled with the waves he was causing in the newly burgeoning spoken word scene where he competed nationally.Despite having no official distribution or label support, Francis' unique brand of music spread like wildfire via the advent of file sharing networks which caught the attention of labels worldwide. With his first studio album, Personal Journals, Francis daringly set aside the more boastful side of rap by catering to his poetic leanings and scathing socio-political commentary. By 2005 Sage Francis was the first hip-hop artist signed to Epitaph Records and soon became one of the highest selling artists of his genre. Rather than abandon his day-to-day grind at the helm of SFR, he channeled all of his newfound resources into it, allowing the label to expand in staff as well as roster. Several studio albums (including the groups Non-Prophets and Epic Beard Men) and numerous “Sick of...”mix tapes later, Uncle Sage has settled into his “old man shaking his fist at a sound cloud” status while continuing to push buttons from his New England home with his wife and children.2025 will see Sage Francis’ return to the tour circuit in the beginning of the year, while finalizing some long anticipated projects which includes his first solo album release in 11 years.
