Judah Priest is a Philadelphia-born, New York-raised Hip Hop artist, actor, and studio visionary whose journey embodies the heart of the underground. Mentored in his teens by Buddha Monk of Brooklyn Zu, Judah stepped into the Wu-Tang universe early — shaping his sound with grit, wisdom, and an unfiltered voice.

He emerged through projects with Chamber Musik Records, collaborations with Sony Red, and a stint with the G-Unit Rydahs, before carving his own path. Over the years Judah has recorded and performed with legendary affiliates — from Cappadonna to Ghostface Killah, Sunz Of Man, and more — solidifying his place in East Coast Hip Hop.

🛠 Founder of a Movement

Judah isn’t just an emcee — he’s a builder. He’s the founder of 144,000 Chosen Few, a collective and independent powerhouse blending street testimony with spiritual insight, pushing real Hip Hop culture forward. His work includes a discography of standout projects like Valley of Kings, Dark Ages, and more.

His New album “The Legend Of Sleppy Hollow Love & Revenge” is now getting AirPlay on the IIour Show on WJYN Uptown 98.5FM Philadelphia and The illest Indie Hour On 105.1FM The Beat Atlantic City New Jersey

Slowly but Shorely (2010)

He’s shared bills with legends like Masta Ace, Smif-N-Wessun, and Inspectah Deck, and has toured the Mid-Atlantic at colleges, festivals, and community stages — a testament to his commitment to both craft and connection with fans across hip hop culture.
