Williams, Saul - Saul Williams (Vinyl)

Saul Williams - Saul Williams (Vinyl)

First establishing himself as an influential poet, then an award-winning screenwriter/actor, Saul Williams then went on to become an MC. His approach to MCing, though, 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. Released in 2004, this self-titled album features guests like Zack de la Rocha, Serj Tankian & Mars Volta keyboardist Ikey Owens.
