There are three masterminds behind the latest in UK's underground hip hop, Smooflow, Roucheon and Silas together are The Royalpriesthood'. Straight outta the ever booming UK hip hop scene, this dynamic trio came to us with superb lyrics laced over bumpin inhouse production which has earned them respect in the uk hip hop scene.

The respect festival the anti-racist and multicultural festival for London. They have also featured in various magazines and newspapers.
On April 19th 2003 they launched their 'Stop the violence' event called 'Urban Truths' which was an effort to both provide a great hip-hop event and create awareness on the current state of gun crime and drug related issues. They are to date heavily involved with organisations who provide support to continue educating our community
The sound of the group is a harmonious blend of hardcore beats with cutting lyrics but a melodic influence of a soulful sound that truly inspires to become closer to our maker. Having a heart for the people is the central focus particularly the youth as they are our future and are heavily influenced by today's hip-hop culture.
Their vision for the future is to go mainstream with maximum impact and yet still keep the message very clear, to bring the elements of raw hip hop to bring excellence with a compassion for people and a passion for the music, to reach everyone possible with the message of positivity.
