about

The Self-titled and self-produced album from Saul Williams. First establishing himself as an influential poet, and then as an award-winning screenwriter/actor, Saul Williams went on to establish himself as an MC. His approach to MCing wasn't exactly in line with the traditional school of hip-hop. His rhymes weren't really rhymes but rather his poetry delivered in a frenzied spoken word manner that was more rhythmic than alliterate. This is his second album and features Zach de la Roca, Serj Tankian (System of a Down), and Ikey Owens (rip) of Mars Volta. 2004.

"Trent Reznor heard this album and asked me to open the "with teeth" Nine Inch Nails tour. After our first show together, he asked if he could produce my next album, which became The Inevitable Rise of Niggy Tardust (recorded while we were on the road). After Hurricane Katrina, I performed this album with Trent and NIN as my backing band at Voodoo Festival."
