All Hail
Who can take the sunshine, sprinkle it with dew? Well, normally props would be to the Candy Man, but with High Priest’s DJing and rapping skills, he comes awfully close. High Priest first caught listeners’ collective ear when he performed with the indie hip hop quartet Anti-pop Consortium.
Fast forward to the present, and the man is now celebrating the release of his own upcoming solo album (due February 6 on Sound Ink), Born Identity. The CD features the same slow, funky beats and intelligent lyrics that first drew folks to the Consortium, and features the likes of L.I.F.E. Long, Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio, and Hisham Bharoocha (ex-Black Dice). This Thursday, Feb. 1, High Priest will be spinning and performing at the Funky Buddha Lounge with guests Eliot Lipp, Vyle, and Mano.
