Cage

Real Name:
Chris Palko
Profile:
A horrific childhood--eventually culminating in drug abuse and a stint in a mental institution--informs this upstate N.Y. rapper's deeply affecting rhymes. With an intense flow that at times recalls the spoken-word material of Sage Francis, Cage exorcises his painful demons.
Affiliated with Definitive Jux Records.
