Sleep No More

DJ Signify

2004

Sleep No More is the first studio album by American hip hop producer DJ Signify.

Sleep No More is themed on insomnia, and while DJ Signify handled duties on the deck, he enlists the help of Sage Francis and Buck 65 to round out the album with lyrics. Sage tells one story across three tracks and Buck tells his own story across four or five tracks, all the while the music carries it along.

The production is stark, and dark, creating an ambiance to fall in line with the themes of the album which skews more trip-hoppy than straight-up hip-hop.
