Listal's A to Z library of favourite bands (241 person items)"Nominated by the giraffe
Sage has been my favorite hip-hop artist for a few years now, after a friend introduced me to his music & we went to see him in concert.

Favourite Album: A Healthy Distrust
Favourite Song: "Slow Down Gandhi"/"Makeshift Patriot"/"Best of Times"/"Hopel"
