DEEP THOUGHT THINKING

Shalom Ppl, Its has been a long time since i been on here a lot has change a lot has happened but for the good. i believe the greatest change i have experienced is growth. I have learned to not allow small things to get to me when i use to just let it get to me and blow up. 

The one thing i noticed was that i needed to know who i was and Know that nothing anybody says or does  change who I am, I learned way i talk walk and speak is me and nobody can change that except me. 

Big problems was only big because i allowed them to. So as i go forward in this walk of life i will continue to have control and power over who I'am and what I allow to have in cypher.

Since i have been On this journey, my music has matured I'm learning new things and incorporating these things into my life. 

I have been offered numerous opportunities because of having a clearer mind and a positive vibe.
In these days and times we as a ppl need to do more self reflecting. Reflect on our own mistakes reflect on our own character, reflect on why when opportunities arise you cant grab hold of it, 
and not make a excuse for why you didn't grab hold of that opportunity. 

If we as a ppl can do more self reflection we could learn to unite as one and not divid and be stagnated. 

These are my thoughts of today -------- judah Priest--------

Wutang Forever Interview

Q:How did you get a name Judah Priest?
I use to Go by Poetic Priest and but it really didn’t stand out to me So my Mom’s was like let your name have meaning and I was in my Sabbath class one day and my minister was talking about the Tribe of Judah so I went home did My Own Study on the word Judah and I always went by Priest since I was like 11. So I put them Together “Judah Priest”.

Q: How did you get involved with rapping and hip-hop?
It was a mixture Between My Dad & My Cousin Michel. My Dad was a local DJ and he was always playing music around the house early in the morning to late at night. I started out wanting to DJ, My Cousin moved in to my house and was always playing Instrumentals and rapping to beat I told him I wanted to do that to so he took the time and show me the format.

Q: For how long have you been rapping?
Since "92" but I started taking it seriously in "98"

Q: What kind of message are you trying to bring with your music?
The message I want people to get out of my music is that music is life, I want people to see I been through some of the things that they been through and I’m still standing. I put the word of GOD In my music cause that is what kept me grounded through all my trials and tribulations.    
Q: How did you get involved with Chambermusik and the Wu?
The Way I got with ChamberMusik, I was surfing the Internet one day and I was on WutangCorp and clicked the links button I was scrolling up and down and the first button I pushed was chambermusik. I seen that Buddha Monk was putting together a mixtape and was asking for submissions and there was a number on there so I called, I think I called to much cause G Clef was like we going to set up a meeting and have you come To New York and Talk. When I got there me & Clef built he told me what he wanted to do I told what I’m looking to do and its been family ever since. I got with Wu FAM through Buddha Monk, Darkim Be Allah & Hell Razah
Q: What Wu Killa bee collabos have you done to date?
I Just did The New Holocaust Theater Of Pain Album "Fancy Boxing" & a remix to Cappadona’s "Grungy" Off the "Slang Prostitution" album
Q: Tell us about a new album. Any guests? Any particular sound fans can expect? When is it dropping?
This is going to be a surefire album! I haven’t decided how many tracks I’m thinking 16 to 21 songs is going to be on there. I have a lot of guest features on the album. So far there’s Hell Razah, Timbo King, William Cooper, Sadat X, Darkim Be Allah, Buddha Monk, Dainjamental, Ice Water (Hanz On, P.C, D.C & Stumik), Dark Skin Assassin, Fes Taylor, Shogun Assassin (Killa Army), Yung Budd, Hump Squad, Falling Angelz, Kevlarr 7, G Clef, Surgeon, Rustee Jux, & some surprise’s. Production By: Cee Tha Architek, Bronze Nazareth, Kevlarr, Falling Down & D.C From Rugged Cross Productions. I am looking to drop it this summer.

Q: What themes are you trying to cover in your lyrics in upcoming album "Valley of Kings"?

I’m covering a wide spread of things: Life, Politics, Money, Trails and Tribulations, Relationships etc. This album will cater to a lot of people.
Q: How would you feel if your new album or mixtape turned out as a download on file sharing site on the web?
Really I don’t know. On one hand I might be a little upset, but on the other I might be honored that somebody took the time out to really put my music out there and if people are downloading it that means my name is out there.
Q: Do you think anyone, with practice can become rapper? Or some people just possess this gift?
I think with practice anybody can become a rapper but it’s the deducation and hard work that makes you a artist. Anybody can put words together but its how you put the words together and what are you saying in your song’s, it’s the long nights writing and perfecting your craft that makes you a artist.
Q: How do you differentiate yourself as an emcee from other emcees?
I try be original I don’t try to talk about the same things that everyone else is talking about in there musik and I don’t wanna sound like anybody else. Like, If I do a song with Holocaust I don’t want to sound like Holocaust , there’s only one Holocaust. I want to stand out on my own and have people be like I like you for you not because you sound the same as him or speaking about the same things he is.
Q: You are from Philly right? What’s your view on Philadelphia hip-hop scene?
Yeah I’m from North Philly (NiceTown), I stayed in NY for a young min when I was younger. Philly music is cool right now everybody is grinding but the one problem we having here is that we don’t support one another there’s no unity here. A lot of artist is breaking ground here, Meek Millz, Joey Jihad, House Wife, and Hedonis Da Amazon. Yung Chris is still grinding as well as Ms Jade. So we have artist that’s doing there thing but we need to more united.
Q: How do you feel about what's on the radio these days?
I hardly listen to the radio these days to be honest. Radio in Philly sucks they would play the same song or the same artist in the same hour, like Ill listen to “Hot 97” When I’m In the City or Shade 45 when I’m driving, but other then that I’m focusing on writing and hitting the studio.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 3 years as an emcee?
In three years, I'll still going to be trying to leave my mark on the music scene, still grinding still networking still making moves.
Q: Where can fans find out more about you and buy your albums?
