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.

AlbatrossinComa: You can get Chapters 18-22 of NGH WHT for free here: http://www.saulwilliams.com/NGH_WHT/ As for getting the rest for free, since you're sure that Saul Williams would see it as a good thing, you might just try shooting him an e-mail.

The imagery he uses moves me like none other. Listening to his words move me intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

trent is such a stud. Forced me to check out deerhunter, a place to bury strangers, Grizzly Bear, Saul Williams, The Horrors (I don't like them that much), Does It Offend You, Yeah?, Queens of the Stone Age, Street Sweeper Social Club and now Mogwai.
