Trent Reznor’s protégé, poet turned rapper [tag]Saul Williams[/tag], is set to embark on a North American tour this spring, in support of his recently online released album,”The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!” Kicking off March 12th at Austin’s SXSW, Saul Williams’ ‘The Tar Spangled Banner Tour‘ will consist of both live musical performances as well as spoken word events in select cities. Let’s just hope he’ll manage to recuperate some of the financial loses, involved with releasing the album for free.
