Gifted emcee, poet, writer and actor Saul Williams sits down with the Subsoniq Crew this week. Saul speaks on what it was like (both good and bad) to work with Rick Rubin (who produced his first album) and Trent Reznor of the Nine Inch Nails (who produced his latest album). He also chops it up about what it was like remaking U2’s song “Sunday Bloody Sunday” and the blessing he got from Bono. Included in the interview is an in depth look at his newest album “The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust”. It’s an interview not to be missed this week on Subsoniq!

As one of the founding members of Company Flow, Mr. Len is the epitome of what progressive hip hop is. We speak of the 90s as a time when the progressive sounds developed and prospered, well here is a man who made those sounds, lived through the time, and had many direct connections to others who were trailblazing the progressive sounds. Join Len as he hits you off with a dope mix this week on Subsoniq Classix! We are honored to have Mr. Len as part of the Subsoniq Crew, so please make him feel welcome. http://www.myspace.com/mrlen
