Bringing together the tale of the author's discovery' of an ancient scroll hidden beneath a graffiti masterpeice in an abandoned subway line along with the journal writings and popular performance pieces, The Dead Emcee Scrolls is a darkly humorous, electrifying tour de force as only Saul Williams could produce. 'Saul is every kind of great artist combined into one.' - Nas
