We say
We're Saul Williams converts since seeing his SXSW show (thanks to Nizlopi for insisting we attend). Saul is part rapper, part poet, part preacher, not to mention a successful actor, although we only found that out later. His live set is sparse but incredibly powerful, and it features one song with distinct crossover potential - Black Stacey. We were delighted to discover that this very hooky track is on his recently-released second album. The Times is one of a growing number of publications that worship at Saul's throne - see their last piece here.Contact
