Multi-hyphenate, multidisciplinary artist Saul Williams brings his unique dynamism to this Afrofuturist vision, a sci-fi punk musical that's a visually wondrous amalgamation of themes, ideas, and songs that Williams has explored in his work, notably his 2016 album MartyrLoserKing. Co-directed with the Rwandan-born artist and cinematographer Anisia Uzeyman, the film takes place in the hilltops of Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective. From their camp in an otherworldly e-waste dump, they attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime exploiting the region's natural resources – and its people. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. Set between states of being – past and present, dream and waking life, colonized and free, male and female, memory and prescience – Neptune Frost is an invigorating and empowering direct download to the cerebral cortex and a call to reclaim technology for progressive political ends.

Saul Williams In Conversation with Mark "Frosty" McNeill Saul Williams joined our host, Mark "Frosty" McNeill, to share thoughts and music from his new album, Encrypted & Vulnerable. The album, an incendiary call to action, fits within his ongoing MartyrLoserKing project. We hope you can join us! In Conversation is produced by dublab. Sound editing and theme music are by Matteah Baim. Due to rights reasons music from the original broadcast has been shortened. To hear more, please visit dublab.com.

Saul Williams is a poet, musician and actor who worked with the likes of Rick Rubin and Trent Reznor, creating some of the most progressive, genre-bending and conceptual Hip Hop with albums like "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust" and 2016's "MartyrLoserKing." The latter was based around the story of a hacker and coltan miner from Burundi who, under the screen name MartyrLoserKing, is waging cyber resistance against authoritarian imperialist governments and oppressive global capitalist forces. His new album "Encrypted & Vulnerable" expands the socio-political narrative into a long-form multimedia project, serving as an album and a soundtrack to an upcoming film "Neptune Frost." This second part of the saga tells the story of an intersex Ugandan runaway who has a love relationship with MartyrLoserKing and joins the hacking collective. We spoke with the multi-media artist, and soon to be film director, about the afrofuturist cyber punk journey he's taking us on through the interconnected projects that tie the MartyrLoserKing narrative.

On the second installment of "Under the Radar," Ryan reviews the album "MartyrLoserKing" from alternative hip-hop artist Saul Williams.

Recorded in the midst of the worldwide shock and mourning, this episode departs just a bit from the approach we’ve taken so far in Liquid Music Playlist. In the second part of the conversation, “hip hop’s poet laureate” (CNN), Saul Williams, talks extensively about his intimate experiences with the “divine communicator” Prince Rogers Nelson and the enormous impact Prince had on musicians, artists, and listeners alike. Williams begins the interview with insights into his multimedia work MartyrLoserKing, hacking as performance art, and “music as the weapon of the future” (Fela Kuti) as well as his Liquid Music Series performance with the Mivos Quartet, which included the premieres of two brand-new commissions by Jace Clayton and Ted Hearne (co-commissioned with the Givens Foundation for African American Literature). “There are so many people growing up now with manufactured sound – with manufactured artists – with manufactured careers – manufactured ideas wrapped in plastic and sold to you. Prince never allowed that to touch the essence of what he created. Because he understood creation and he understood the potentiality and the power of music and of art itself. And so, if there is any lesson that we can learn from Prince, it’s to continue to let our middle fingers go up to the industry, to the manufacturing of ideas and realize that that divine independence that connects us as human beings – to life, to this planet, to the whole, to the spirit, to love – that we have to continue to investigate that though sound, through voice, through heart, through rhythm, through guitar, through all this stuff, and we cannot let whoever these moguls are get in the way of musical freedom.” – Saul Williams PLAYLIST: 1.
