The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust
Those in the know, have certainly heard of Saul Williams and his blend of social conscious poetry and hip hop. Those who have not….will. Especially with the release of his new album The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust. The new album was produced my Mr. Nine Inch Nails himself, Trent Reznor, and mixed by Alan Moulder (who has worked with U2, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN’s, and The Killers). The album came out yesterday via download for free or $5.00 through Saul Williams website. I, for one, like this new trend.
I’ve had the chance to listen to the album a couple of times and I really like it. It comes across as Saul Williams fronting Nine Inch Nails with support from TV on the Radio. Which is a good thing. Here are a couple of tracks from the new album. I really like the remake of U2′s, Sunday Bloody Sunday.
mp3: Sunday Bloody Sunday
mp3: WTF!
