Saul Williams has a sound that is as attributable to Basquiat as it is to Tupac or M.I.A. Williams is out to make a new language drawn from his global travelling. He has been hip-hopping over continental borders and the resulting album MartyrLoserKing is as provocative sonically as it is lyrically. He has a gig in Toronto Feb 18 at Tattoo and in Montreal the following night Feb 19 at Kanaval Kanpe.
