If you listen to the one of the local hip-hop stations in the San Francisco Bay Area, nine times out of ten the song playing is either Sage the Gemini's "Gas Pedal" or "Red Nose." Those songs are so ubiquitous that Sage has admitted in interviews that he's sick of hearing them. He worked hard to be at a point where his songs are driving people nuts...

With YG and DJ Mustard referring to themselves as millennial analogues to Snoop and Dre, and artists both prudent (Drake, Trey Songz) and floundering (Chris Brown, Jennifer Lopez) inching westward for a piece of Mustard's sound, it's easy to mistake L.A. for the center of the current West Coast rap resurgence. But further up the Pacific Coast Highway, Sage the Gemini and Iamsu...

Sage the Gemini is one of the newest additions to the Bay Area's 17-man HBK crew, who are redefining what it means to be regional stars in the internet age. Powered by hiccupping handclaps and rampant West Coast hedonism, Sage's major-label solo debut follows the success of a hypnotic, viral, platinum-selling single, Gas Pedal, and a swiftly rising gold one, Red Nose.

Sage The Gemini Serves Up More Bangers On 'Remember Me'
Mar 31st, '14 • Music • by XXL Staff • No Comments
Sage The Gemini might've been the most unlikeliest star of 2013 when it was all said and done. In a year where "twerk" became officially added to the Oxford Dictionary, Vine compressed Internet gems into six second clips, and streaming claimed king as music's biggest profit, perhaps no one benefited as much from the change in the times...

Sage The Gemini's lack of diversity hold "Remember Me" back, but it's still largely likeable as festive, West Coast party-oriented Hip Hop. Much like his West Coast contemporary Ty Dolla $ign, Fairfield, California emcee Sage The Gemini walks an exceedingly fine line between the ratchet and the melodious in his music...

Hook-filled, simple, and sharp, "Gas Pedal" is one of those nasty earworms that gets stuck in the head the first time it's encountered in the club or on radio, plus it comes with a dash of unique cool, which is that full-bodied soul strut California's HBK Gang bring to the table. Iamsu!, Chief, and P-Lo are members of that gang too, but after the 2013 release of "Gas Pedal," HBK member Sage the Gemini winds up first out of the gate with a major-label debut...

Bay Area rapper-producer Sage the Gemini is one of the most instantly rewarding beatmakers in recent memory. His rubbery tracks are a mix of Casio bloops, scribbly synth lines and little else. Appropriately, three-quarters of Remember Me, which is mainly produced by Gemini or his like-minded associate P-Lo, sounds great on iPhone speakers. But the rest of the album is too slow and soggy - a guy who mainly raps about shaking butts trying to show a musical range he doesn't have...
