Newburgh, New York, United States (1972 – present)
Born in Newburgh, New York, United States, 1972, Saul Williams is considered a powerful voice of the hip-hop generation as a poet, actor, rapper, singer and musician. Best known for his blend of spoken word poetry and hip-hop, and for his leading role in the independent film Slam, he received notable recognition while supporting Nine Inch Nails for parts of their 2005-2006 tour.
Saul’s third album, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation Of Niggy Tardust, was produced by Trent Reznor, and released via the internet on November 1, 2007. In the days leading up to its release, several tracks featuring a combination of industrial and hip-hop production were “leaked” to the internet.
Williams has published four books of poetry: “The Seventh Octave”, “S/he”, “,said the shotgun to the head.” and “The Dead Emcee Scrolls”; and released three albums: Amethyst Rock Star, the self titled Saul Williams, and most recently, The Inevitable Rise and Liberation Of Niggy Tardust.

I understand the criticism that Volcanic Sunlight is more repetitive, less "deep" & maybe somewhat less lyrically challenging, but DAMN this is catchy pop shit like no other pop shit ever was or will be. the lyrics may not be complete books any more, but the album is just sooo enganging. for the record: IT'S A GREAT FUCKING RECORD! I love it!

Smooth album.

I think NIN should be on related artists, because 'Niggy Tardust' has a similar sound to NIN. But only NIN and not every single fucking band related to them.
