There is a silver lining in playing the background to so many instrumental moments in a person’s life. Your accounts of the story seem more genuine, more real and anticipated. Such is the case with “The World Famous” Tony Williams. A vital component in the making of the soundtrack of many a generation, Williams is preparing to release his King Or The Fool album free from being in the category of featured artist or man playing unknown member of the scene you’re currently living.

Williams’ work on The College Dropout remains one of those “where were you when” moments. You hear his voice close out one of the true anthems for 9-to-5 college students on the verge of impending success on “Spaceship” and as Williams discusses below, his riffing on the GLC & Consequence featured track led to him getting four more placements on Kanye’s debut classic album.
