Saul Williams on Spoken-Word Democracy in a Future Age

'The spoken-word poet, activist, and performer Saul Willaims's uncanny ability to contemporaneously occupy different spheres of creativity — whether it be the visceral immediacy of his poetry, or the heady, dsytopic futurism of his latest album, "MartyrLoserKing" — provides him a singular vantage point to evaluate police brutality, the intersectionality of geo-political interests, and inequality in an informationally democratic, digitally immersive age.' -- +WNYC
