Not to discredit “Bang’Em In The Face” but Roc and Killah Priest share the award for April’s best song title with “Slugs Thru Ya Papaya” off Dreddy Kreuger’s upcoming Wu-Tang Meets Indie Culture: The Lost Files release. Read the rest of this entry »

Earlier this week, an invigorated Kurupt held a barstool press-conference with Wu-Tang-affiliated M-Eighty, announcing the reunion of the once-unfuckwitable The HRSMN clique. Given the polka-dot reputation of these guys, I’m not holding my breathe. But, back in their heyday, Ras Kass, Canibus, Killah Priest and the K-u-r-u-p-to-the-t formed the Megazord of lyricism with their now eBay-only Horseman Project. Read the rest of this entry »

Words By DJ Sorce-1

Since making his mark in the game nearly fifteen years ago on The Gravediggaz’ 6 Feet Deep, Killah Priest has shown great promise as an MC. Unique in his tone and flow, Priest at one time seemed to be the next member of the extended Wu-Tang fam to shine. Despite never reaching initial lofty expectations, Priest has maintained a loyal following through countless guest appearances and a slew of solo projects. After a brief hiatus, 2007 saw Priest make a return to form with the critically acclaimed The Offering. In the ’08 Priest is back again with Behind The Stained Glass, a highly original effort that features its share of jewels. Read the rest of this entry »

The first shall be last and the last shall be first…

Just as predicted, the last track on the GZA’s seminal classic Liquid Swords was the first time much of the Hip-Hop world was exposed to the spiritual diatribes from one Killah Priest. Much like the diametrical views displayed on “B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth),” Priest has continuously challenged listeners with his illuminate visionaries of religion and surreal experiences while still remaining a fierce presence on the microphone.

In case you lost track of Priest’s whereabouts, he’s never stopped putting in work since that unforgettable cameo over a decade ago. Still freshly removed from his last album The Offering, which was released last August, Priest is set to deliver yet another project—Behind The Stained Glass as takes as few moments to give all the details to TSS Crew’s TC in between a busy day of photo shoots and video spots.

TSS: What’s good Priest?

Killah Priest: Yo, what’s the deal!

TSS: What video you shooting for today?

Killah Priest: I’m shooting “Profit Of Man” today. This my fourth video I shot so far. I shot “Ghetto Jesuz” from The Offering and I shot “Hood Nursery” from the new album. There’s going to be four videos from this new album.

TSS: Oh so you still promoting The Offering too?

Killah Priest: Nah, that’s just a video that me and the producer wanted to do from a while back, but I’m basically still pushing everything ya know?

TSS: That’s what’s up. And you still being grindin’ and pushing albums, but it’s been more on the low-key end. You think you’ll ever bounce back on a major (record label)?

Killah Priest: I don’t even know man ’cause the way things are going, everything is coming towards independent anyway. And I don’t even know if the majors would ever want me again anyway. (laughs). I’m major and I’m trying to make it major, feel me?

TSS: No doubt, basically doing your own thing. But give us some insight on where the inspiration for the content of your lyrics comes from.

Killah Priest: The inspiration comes from different sources of life. Predicaments, dealing in the spiritual sense. For Black people, we’re always dealing with that spiritual connection so the lyrics stem from that.

TSS: Did you ever study theology in school?

Killah Priest: Nah, but I definitely went through all of that. Studying bibles, Mathematics, theology. I learned mine straight from the street. In school, I did the reading and writing, but I did my own research too and that’s where I gained the most knowledge. You can do your best learning by traveling and so forth.

TSS: Of course: life experience. And you’ve been described as prophet by your fans. Do you view yourself as such?

Killah Priest: (Laughs) Oh man. Well I just wanna make a profit in the pockets (laughs). But nah, if a prophet consists of telling ya’ll the truth, then that’s what it is. If it’s telling to truth to shame the devil, then yeah. I wanna be more than a prophet, because they prosecute them and I just want to tell the truth.

TSS: And what can we expect from seeing Killah Priest live in concert?

Killah Priest: It’s an experience. I take control of the crowd while having fun at the same time. People will tell you, “Priest does his thing.” And that’s what kinda kept me alive to be real.

TSS: So tell me about your latest Behind The Stained Glass? Read the rest of this entry »
