Sage Poet "Prison Planet" ALBUM

Sage Poet takes sole charge of production on “Prison Planet,” an album of ten songs from the MC based in Lilongwe, Malawi. It sits alongside work made with other producers, including “Unsung Heroes” and “The Uncool EP” with RebelMusiQ, and “Alchemy” with Justus. His catalogue also includes an unusually explicit account of how he builds a narrative. In a 2019 interview with Nyasa Times, Sage explained the fictional premise behind the album available as “Secrets”: a drowning boy encounters the spiritual realm between life and death. Its seven songs take their names from the seven deadly sins, providing a structure for that story. He also cautioned against treating the fiction as historical fact. For “Prison Planet,” Sage combines his work as writer and performer with responsibility for recording, mixing and mastering, extending his involvement to the artwork.
