Saul Williams is a boundary-breaking American poet, rapper, and actor born in 1972 in Newburgh, New York. He rose to prominence with the film Slam (1998) and the accompanying soundtrack, then built a global body of work that pushes hip-hop, spoken word, and experimental music into new territory. Known for political poetry, radical production, and genre-bending collaborations, Williams has released eight studio albums and worked with a wide range of artists across poetry, music, and film.
