最初听到Killah Priest是在Wu-Tang Clan成员Genius/GZA的专辑《Liquid Swords》中，他说演绎的歌曲Swordman给人留下了深刻的印象。除此之外，在Wu-Tang的成员和Project当中，Priest也常常是座上宾。比如：由RZA联手Prince Paul等人所组的Horrecore组合Gravediggaz，ODB的代表作Return to the 36 Chambers等等。Killah Priest is a tangential associate of 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 Bastards Return to the 36 Chambers, and, most importantly, Genius/GZAs 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 Onyxs 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 1995, 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. Killah worked on the album with True Master and 4th Disciple, two producers associated with the Clan. The resulting album, Heavy Mental, was dense with religious imagery and filled with evocative sounds. It received excellent reviews upon its March 1998 release and was a respectable commercial success, debuting at number 24 on the pop charts. Killah Priest issued his second album, View from Masada, in the spring of 2000, further bolstering his status as one of the most compelling solo artists in the Wu-Tang stable, a group that, although he sometimes separated himself from, he always remained friendly with. Although View from Masada was well-received, it failed to do well commercially, and Priest moved to Recon for his next record, 2003s Black August. Although he certainly wasnt keeping silent in the time that passed, working on material for Black Market Militia and the Horsemen and appearing on numerous other albums, it was a few years before the rapper came out with his next record, The Offering, in 2007.
