Siren Says: Supremely talented, multi-hyphenated hip-hop renaissance man Saul Williams brings unbridled and unparalleled passion to poetry, acting and music. His current "industrial punk-hop" endeavor earned him LA Weekly's Best Hip-Hop Artist award—and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Saul Williams Say: "'Cause angels and messiahs, love, can come in many forms: in the hallways of your projects, or the fat girl in your dorm." ("Talk to Strangers")
