UnLearn Agency Official Press Release
Hip Hop can’t stop, won’t stop, it don’t stop!!
Clearly hip hop is not dead. Whilst most of us are still high off the Back to the City hip hop festival, along comes yet another great hip hop event. Over the past year SA heads have been spoilt with great international hip hop acts. Just in the past 5 months we have seen ?uest Love, Mos Def, Zaki Ibrahim and Slum Village. Now, the UnLearn Agency (who brought you Back to the City) bring you Killah Priest.
Referred to by both the media and his fans as a prophet, innovator, and poet, Killah Priest is recognized as one of the most vivid lyricists in Hip Hop. Priest (as he prefers to be called) is a tangential a**ociate of the Wu-Tang Clan. His first recorded appearances were on records such as Wu side projects and solo albums as the Gravediggaz, Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return to the 36 Chambers, and, most importantly, Genius/GZA's seminal Liquid Swords.
His contributions became legendary and paved the way for the release of his acclaimed debut album, Heavy Mental. Priest released a second album, View from Masada, in 2000. In 2007, he released his third album, The Offering which secured his status as one of the most compelling solo artists in the Wu-Tang stable. (
