Killah Priest (born Walter Reed) is an American rapper heavily associated with the Wu-Tang Clan. The Brooklyn native made his first recorded appearances on records by such Wu side projects and solo albums as the Gravediggaz, Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s Return to the 36 Chambers, and, most importantly, GZA/Genius’s seminal Liquid Swords. His contributions became legendary and paved the way for the release of his acclaimed debut album, Heavy Mental, in the spring of 1998.
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville, Killah Priest became infatuated with hip-hop as a child, listening to old-school and new school acts like Eric B. & Rakim alike. He also was influenced by local rappers, like Genius and Onyx’s Suave, who would often play local parties. Killah Priest began working on his rhyming and eventually earned a considerable reputation in Brooklyn, but instead of pursuing his musical career further, he took a sabbatical in order to educate himself, primarily about religion and history.
Killah Priest returned to rapping in 1994, appearing on several Wu projects. All of his cameos were noteworthy, but his role on Liquid Swords earned special attention. By the end of 1996, he formed his own side project, the Sunz of Man. In 1997, GZA suggested to Geffen that they sign Killah Priest, and the label took his advice.

Yea i feel like Killah Priest has been putting almost no emotion in his latest releases. his flow is definitely lacking and he sounds a bit bored. the lyrics are still crazy though. also, the production is borderline horrible @ times.

is it just me or is he just reciting his poetry on his new album? there is absolutely no flow to his music on Elizabeth. What happened to the chant-like flow from Priesthood, Black August and Views From Masada? The lyrics are great but the music is lacking.

"I judge wisely.. as if nothing ever surprised me... lounging between two pillars of ivory, I'm lively, my dome-piece is like building stones in Greece, my poems are deep, from ancient thrones I speak, I'm overwhelmed as my mind roams the realm, my eyes the vision, memory is the film..." Heavyweight lyricist.

I speak on jacob, it might take up some time / And too much knowledge, it might break up the ryhme / I did it anyway just to wake up the mind / Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet / Those who sit home, or sell books by the market / Need to chill and get their mind revived / For years religion did nothing but divide / The basic instructions before leaving earth.
