Last year was huge for Saul Williams. The multi-hyphenate played the role of a preacher in the blockbuster film Sinners. A few months later, he released a collaborative album with Carlos Niño, earning him his first Grammy nomination. Now, he's announcing its followup, Leaf Life, which features Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja, Kamasi Washington, Moor Mother, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Surya Botofasina, and more.
Leaf Life marks Williams' first solo full-length work in seven years, and a return to the label Big Dada, where he originally released his first solo works in the late '90s. He worked again with producer Carlos Niño for the LP, and today's lead single "Conspiracy" has Gonjasufi and Moor Mother. It comes with a music video directed by Cleon Arrey. Watch below.
