Saul was one of the first people on the list. He is the absolute epitome of a spoken word artist. Trace what’s great about the upswell in performance poetry across the world and Saul Williams is there at ground zero, the start of everything, the heart of the hurricane – we are absolutely delighted to have him involved.”

I had the pleasure of meeting Saul after a concert in manchester years ago a very cool guy and an amazing artist this will not be a gig to miss.
absolute class. caught him in dublin a few years back. amazing performer
Was that in crawdaddy? i was at that gig too, amazing.
yep. deadly buzz =D
Saul Williams is gr8
Great performer – much better live than on record where tinny production values can undermine how raw and round his sound is live. Black Stacey an unbelievable song.
You should be a music reviewer.
