The best introduction to Saul Williams is the Movie SLAM were he plays an urban poet. Good movie, great poems/raps by Saul.
His 1st LP Amethyst Rock Star is interesting, don't have his new one yet.

I loved SLAM, and was disappointed by his album.  I sure wouldn't mind seeing him on this tour, though.
