  1. Taking on both the BS and sobering-side-of-life lessons while straddling genres would be difficult for any musician, but Sage did it and came up with a B-plus effort. More tangible proof that he’s a gifted artist.
  2. Some consider Francis more of a spoken-word artist than a hip-hop MC, and there’s validity to that. When he falters, his cadences flatten out and completely lack rhythm, especially in the songs that are bursts of verbosity. At times, his verse is more provocative than evocative.
  3. It’s a serious, earnest “lighten up, kid” that returns to Francis’s strongest mode, the slightly stilted personal journal; like the rest of Li(f)e it’s honest, sometimes brutally so, occasionally just brutal, and it’s hard to ask for more than that.
