I thought this guy was weak because of his co-starring on the TV show girlfriends. Caught the live act last week uptown. Pretty good lyrics. Damn good performance. The music wasn't really my style, but is was listenable. Someone should market him a little better. He could lead a new direction of rap.

Please tell me you'd heard of Saul BEFORE the show "Girlfriends"???

He's dope.

Amethyst Rockstar is hot. ON first listen its a little abbrasive ( ok, more than a little) but it grows on you. Hip hop here, techno, there, a little rock thrown in the mix.. Saul is one eclectic cat. God bless 'im.

Saw him perform before, but I was busier drinking and girl watching than listening. It wasn't until I got into a bar debate about hip hop that I went to the show last week to pay attention. Sad ,I know.

He's alright.
