Saul Williams on 'NiggyTardust' 'We wrote this on the road. There were two sections of two different songs from the 14 track cd that I thought would work well together. First I asked CX to cut and paste them, then I had him program a beat under a section. When we played it for Trent I only had the first verse written which he really enjoyed.

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust grafts more than its title from David Bowie's classic The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Niggy is Williams' alter ego just as Ziggy was Bowie's. By invoking the master of disguise, the weight falls on Williams' to deliver an album worthy of that comparison. Fiery spoken-word artist Saul Williams will always have a place in his heart for Niggy Tardust. Nearly two years ago, the alter ego grew into a sprawling concept album, 'The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust.' 'Ziggy Stardust' is a song written and recorded by David Bowie in 1971 for the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust! is the third solo studio album by Saul Williams. It was released in 2007.[1] It peaked at number 41 on the BillboardHeatseekers Albums chart,[2] as well as number 89 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[3] The album is entirely produced by Trent Reznor.[4] The title of the album is a reference to David Bowie's 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.[5]
Release[edit]
The album was available for purchase or free download at NiggyTardust.com. The website allowed users to pay $5 to support the artist and be given the choice of downloading a 192kbit/s MP3 version, 320kbit/s MP3 version or lossless FLAC version.[6] Digital distribution of the album is provided by Musicane. Reznor publicised the album on the Nine Inch Nails website and mailing list, saying that 'Saul's not the household name that Radiohead is' and urging fans to support him.[7] This was a reference to Radiohead's In Rainbows, which was released in October on the band's own website with customers choosing how much they want to pay for the album. The free option has since been removed, with a message on the website claiming their intention had always been to remove it after 100,000 free downloads of the album.[8]
It was announced at nin.com that, as of January 2, 2008, two months since its release, 154,449 people had downloaded NiggyTardust. Of that number, 28,322 people chose to pay the asked price of $5 USD ($141,610 USD Total). In comparison, Saul's self-titled album has sold 30,000 copies since its release in 2004.[9]
A physical release of the album was released on July 8, 2008. It contained five bonus tracks.[10]
