As a musician, Williams has carved out his own niche, pulling from different genres and often addressing social issues with spoken word flow. His upcoming tour will support his
latest effort,
The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!, released in November as a digital download. The album, produced by Nine Inch Nails frontman, Trent Reznor, recently had a
spike in sales that correlated to Williams' "A List of Demands" earning a spot in a
Nike commercial.
"The only rules that we paid attention to were the rules of song structure, like there should be a verse here, there should be a chorus here, there should be a bridge. For me, the whole experience was a dialogue on freedom."
The album will become available on CD and vinyl on July 8. Catch Williams on tour on the dates listed below:
