Saul Williams

Read an excerpt from US (a.):

…whispers the innocent sister. Her life barely missed her. Then Patience approached and he kissed her. Love’s like a transistor. Feelings have features. Innocent creatures distort what love teaches. Trade scriptures for preachers, communion for leeches. Earth’s mountainous speakers bombard and boom beat us. On guard to defeat us. You hate us. You need us. You are us. You reek us. The Martyrs and Seekers, sow questions and reap us. More grime than grim reapers. Designer diseases resolved to repeat us. You kill us. You eat us. You grow corn to feed us. You crowd us. You beat us. You crave us. You need us. You slaughter and bleed us. You tax us, harass us, pray, and then eat us. You slay us and feed us, from POTUS to penis, the aborted fetus, the corpses, the meat, us. Make sausage of Jesus. The law says to bleed us. We embody greed, lust. The wrong shepherds lead us.

What a dope name for a duo, “XL” and it aptly fits as the two drop an XL song produced by none other than North Carolina’s own record chopper 9th Wonder. “We Must Stand” is highlight the duo’s worldwide travels, staying independent in a shady industry, and simply keepin’ it movin’. Stick around for the final verse, where the two MCs trade bars before giving way to Belgian turntablist, DJ Iron’s track-closing cuts. If “We Must Stand” will have you craving more from these two, don’t sleep on their most recent solo ventures, Sadat’s Never Left LP and El’s Try Again EP.
