Epitaph Builds Hip Hop With Sage Francis

Epitaph, a label associated with punk rock, got into hip hop by signing rapper Sage Francis in the first of multiple hip hop signings. In February they're releasing A Healthy Distrust and Sage Francis will go on tour. Epitaph will also be releasing albums by Blackalicious, the Coup and Danger Mouse and distributing Lyrics Born's next release. By the way, if you wish rap music was more meaningful but you've never heard of these artists, you have some homework to do.
