Born in Newburgh, N.Y., 1972, Saul Williams has been considered as a powerful voice of the hip-hop generation as a poet, preacher, actor, rapper, singer and musician. He is most known for his blend of spoken word poetry and hip-hop and for his leading role in the independent film Slam.

In an age where boundless leaps are being made in communication, Saul Williams is evolutionary proof that age-old concepts can be fused with new precepts and expressed with mind opening precision.

Never before has the power of the word and our ability to dictate our reality been expressed so clearly and creatively at once. Williams? poetry represents an evolution of thought, artistry and spiritual consciousness delivered with the lyrical fervor of hip-hop and the grace and linguistic mastery of Shakespeare. Williams channels the voice of the postmodern age, yet allows a wide ranging stream of consciousness to distort the melody like some sort of lyrical Hendrix.

He's been spending the summer opening up on the Nine Inch Nails tour (2005).
