Judah Priest: The Voice of the Underground

Philadelphia-born and raised in New York City, Judah Priest works as a hip hop artist, actor, and studio engineer whose presence echoes across East Coast rap circles and the wider Wu-Tang Clan sphere. A spiritually inclined lyricist carrying hard-won street insight, he merges unfiltered narratives with socially aware motifs, securing his place as a distinctive presence within underground hip hop.

At age 17 he received guidance from Buddha Monk of Brooklyn Zu, gaining early entry into the Wu-Tang lineage. By 19 he secured a deal with Chamber Musik Records, later working alongside Sony Red and G Unit Rydahs. His ties include membership in Zu Bulliez and Hell Razah’s Ghetto Government Officials, while he also serves as founder of 144,000 Chosen Few.

His recorded output reflects steady evolution and resolve, spanning the albums Valley of Kings, Dark Ages, The Day After Tomorrow, and The Last Testament. The forthcoming project The Legend of Sleepy Hallow (Love & Revenge) signals further expansion of his reach.

Outside recording, Judah Priest is assembling a larger structure through 144,000 Chosen Few LLC, which encompasses 144 Records—distributed by Sony Orchard via Whomag—along with 144 Productions and Frat House Recordings, outlets designed to support independent artists and project genuine perspectives.

Onstage, inside the studio, or managing operations from behind the scenes, Judah Priest continues as an unwavering presence, linking the spiritual with the everyday, the foundational era with what comes next.
