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.

Following his 2018 acclaimed release "Blackie: A Story by Roy Kinsey," the Chicago rapper returns with the next installment: "KINSEY, House of Marcell Vol. 1." The new album continues the exploration of his multi-faceted identities as a queer Black man, a son, a librarian, an educator and an entrepreneur, among others. On this album, Roy honors a long lineage of strong and resilient women in his family and delves into his feminine side, allowing the "divine feminine to step up to the mic from the shadows."

Jill Hopkins sat down with the thoughtful MC to talk about the project.
