Saul Good

Saul Montgomery, aka SAUL GOOD, was born and raised in the Queen Lane projects in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. Growing up, he listened to LL Cool J and admired LL’s ability to have longevity in an occupation that is notoriously short for any artist who does not maintain the ability to stay connected to the audience. The fact that LL could establish himself as a pillar in hip hop provided inspiration for Saul to embark on this journey. Growing up in Queen Lane Projcts, Saul witness the habits of living in a hazardous enviroement. Drugs and murder were not situations that was out of the normal for him. Anybody that ventured into this part of the city would quickly find out why it is label the “Brickyard”. Saul’s only escape from there was to put his thoughst into poetry. He finally got an opportunity to leave the projects and move in with his dad. Living with his dad made him appreciate the lyrical skills of founding rappers like Rakim, KRS One, and Slick Rick. As his music taste started to expand, so did his ability to write poetry. He discovered this talent at the early age of 10. Soon afterward. he started singing and dancing and performing in front of his family. At the age of 14 he began to structure his broken poems into complete songs. At a family get together, he recited one of those songs to Kerwyn John, a cousin of his, who was so impressed with his calculated rhymes and commanding delivery, he set up a meeting with Stanley Robinson, Jr. (pka Rob Infinite) and Donald Yorkman: who along with Kerwyn John are co-founders of Local Five-8 Entertainment, LLC., an independent label/production company located in Philadelphia. After hearing Saul rap, they signed him on the spot. Although breaking a new artist without a major push behind them is almost impossible, Saul’s commitment and passion for his music made the vision much easier to strive for. After long hours of recording and countless minutes of stage preparations, he finally got an opportunity to showcase his talent. Since his first show he has been on many stages and performed at numerous venues. As his buzz grew, the industry started to take notice. Saul was invited to perform on BET’s 106 and Park. After an incredible performance his myspace friends request could not stop overflowing. Saul has been able to do some film work.
