One of leftfield indie hip hop’s best ever selling records to date, the 18 introspective tracks ‘Personal Journals’ defined a fresh new era for the underground music world. In 2007, ownership of the recordings reverted to Sage, and the album was duly re-released on Strange Famous, complete with 24-page booklet with lyrics and extensive liner notes. With production and musical input from Sixtoo, DJ Mayonnaise, Jel, Scott Matelic, Reanimator, DJ Signify, Mike 2600, Alias, Odd Nosdam, Controller 7, Mr. Dibbs, Grey Matter, and Joe Beats, ‘Personal Journals’ is a benchmark release in the late 90s / early 00s emergence of alternative hip hop, and any fan of the style without a copy of this record clutched to their heart just isn’t a real fan yet. “ ‘Personal Journals’ is a success because it turns the self-examination into poetry and then, harder still, turns the poems into great rap. And as dark as he gets, Francis makes sure we have a good time.” - Pitchfork Media. “Anger, menace, eccentricity and humour are some of the emotions this outsider flicks between, but he’s always highly convincing, articulate, and a lot more honest than the major label ego-rappers.” - The Independent.
