MTV Books, 2006, 208 pages

Beneath the third rail of a forgotten New York subway line, Saul Williams discovered scrolls of aged paper rolled into a can of spray paint — a mystical text that revealed the primal power of hip-hop to teach us about ourselves and the universe. “This is the book that finished me… this is a confession.”

Saul is every kind of great artist combined into one.

A profound poet who inspires us. He challenges us to be individuals.
