Referred to by both the media and his fans as a prophet, innovator, and poet, the emcee widely known as Killah Priest is widely recognized as one of the most vivid lyricists in Hip Hop. Priest (as he prefers being called now) first entranced listeners on the classic track B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) on GZAs seminal debut LP Liquid Swords, Priest has continued to enthrall devotees of true Hip Hop with his lush imagery, graphic storytelling and razor-sharp rhymes.
Born Walter Reed and raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, he began immersing himself in spiritual discovery and the acquisition of knowledge long before he touched a microphone, spending long hours studying religion and history as a child and a teen. He fondly recalls initiating impromptu Bible study sessions and Ancient History lessons on the streets of Brooklyn while he was still in high school. That early exposure and continuing education- interwoven with his personal experiences in his Bed-Stuy projects- still resonates in his lyrics today.
His childhood friendships with Wu-Tang's GZA and Onyx's Suave exposed him to pursuing music as a career. His mesmerizing wordplay on B.I.B.L.E. prompted Geffen Records to offer him a recording contract. That resulting album - Heavy Mental, remains a by all a hip hop classic.
Priest's appearance on Red Hot organization's 6th AIDS charity album "America Is Dying Slowly" (Priest created the title's acronym) further established him as one of the most respected voices and visionaries in Hip Hop. His stature is evident in the company he keeps, having recorded and/or performed with music legends both within and outside of Hip Hop (George Clinton, Big Daddy Kane, Earth Wind and Fire, KRS-One, Wyclef Jean, Elephant Man, and DJ Spooky) and appearing on the 2003 Led Zeppelin tribute album Stairway To Rock alongside Quincy Jones, Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder, Alanis Morisette, Metallica and Slash.
Starting March 19, 2010, Killah Priest will be performing at the SXSW music festival and will also be the tour kickoff with his dj, Notion + special guests in each city. If you are a promoter, venue owner or manager and want to book a date for this tour, please contact us to further discuss.

ELIZABETH...IS BRILLIANT. I will say this to anyone that Priest is the illest lyricist alive. He is on a level that few artists have reached. He is like the John Coltrane or William Blake of Hip Hop. A visionary.
Blinded by the light!! The earth screams in meditation Ethereal surfing to infinity. Look to the Annunaki d.n.a manipulation. genes switched off to controle the population. The beast fights and writhes with Shiva The antichrist is a catholic preacher. I burn like inferno ,Words are brimstone ripping in to the mental . Man seeks to eat again fruit from the waters of life A sumerian story of creation left of genetic manipulation. Man a slave working for gold from the first seeds, genesis of the first generation. We were created to mine gold to reflect the sun and also made in the Annunaki races reflexion . The wars of Demi gods and man has allways been the situation. Hidden behind the windows of fear and confusion the iluminati jesuits guard information the pyramid iluminati controle the population. The andromedians Give man his divinity's creation they build with us to advance our clar scenes and true science and new stages of Civilization . The soul drives on until completion. Destiny guided by karma to interact with a predetermined situation. Echoing the stars since our and their creation Interdimensional flows from the source. Meditate to open the rift at one with the ethereal universe
