Are You A Fan of SageInfinite?

For nostalgic purposes lets take it back to a time when commercial and underground hip hop were at war.  When the MC used to say that a rapper was wack because they used to talk about making people sweat and what could and couldn't be touched.  Let's say the war between Commercial Hip Hop and Underground Hip Hop went differently.  Let's say that the Puff Daddy Era didn't win out at the turn of the millenia and the Grammy's understood that Wu Tang was for the children.  Nas never decided he was Escobar and created "jiggy" records for sales and Ja Rule never sang out of tune.  What would we be listening to?  What would hip hop artists sound like?  They would sound like SageInfinite. 

Infinite Mind

SageInfinite broke from the mold with raw rap that delivers timeless Hip Hop straight from New Jersey.  Between his rhymes and sharp delivery, Sage is a lyricist that reminds us how an MC is supposed to rhyme.  

His most recent mixtape release is a collaboration with Outbreak titled, Sage Vs. Outbreak.  Sage lives on the production molding every verse to the beat so the listener can embrace his world.  The first track titled Cloud Hoppin' sets the tone for the entire CD which is a button pushing opus that delves into the psyche of betrayal, mediocre rappers and his skill to create vivid images with words.

The lost art of story telling isn't missing when the mic is in front of Sage.  He verbally paints pictures on nearly every track but, the spotlight needs to be on the track titled Trynna Snatch Beauty.  Sage provides a story about a beautiful young lady whose father abandoned her before birth only to be jealous of her rise to fame.  I won't spoil the conclusion for you, but, it is worth a couple of listens to catch the intricacies of his rap flow and the little details that ad layers to the ending.

Sage is an artist that must be snatched up.  Artistically the passion is present and judging from his lyrics it's obvious he has the flexibility to bring what needs to be represented in the industry.
The whole CD is fire but if highlights needed to be selected off of Sage Vs. Outbreak, they would include: I am..., Crimes, Drugs, Liquor, & Life, Will I Make It Pt. 1 & Pt. 2 & Trynna Snatch Beauty.
