I saw this yesterday on Saul Williams' myspace. Don't ask me why I was there in the first place because I honestly do not remember. I do remember thinking as I was reading this letter that it seemed really appropriate for this time as we are celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and looking back upon the struggles of black Americans for freedom and equality.

I remember clever little sentences in the margins with "Saul Williams" written under them. Of course I became an instant fan. I caught wind of The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! when I was doing research for a class actually. Some article had listed it as...

If you've been wondering, like we have, watch this vid where Saul Williams explains his latest incarnation as "Niggy Tardust." With his album, The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of Niggy Tardust , Saul defies genres and categorization, as he does with his character Niggy. Also worth the watch is Episode 1, which takes you behind the scenes of the making of Niggy's video for "Convict Colony," ...

Saul Williams is heading out on a thirty date tour in support of "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!". The Trent Reznor produced album has been praised by both critics and fans."The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! is the lovechild of Trent and me," says Williams. "The Niggytardust concept sets me free to do more on stage with costume, etc. than one might expect ...
