Mr Saul Williams is unstoppable. He is vocally anti-Bush, a published New York Times writer, has performed alongside Nas and Erykah Badu and a million others, starred in
Slam, and made U2 not make your ears bleed. The musician, poet, writer and actor is about to (officially) release his album
The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! which was produced by Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor.
While there's a little confusion surrounding this latest album (sort of released late last year via the interwebs, but officially available in early July) there's no doubting the versatility and thoughtfulness of Williams. A bonus track 'World on Wheels' premiered a day or two ago and in just a minute-ish Williams covers history, slavery, sex, money and drugs. The man is powerful. Very powerful.
