Killah Priest | From Then Till Now ・Nomen X Edit

Peace Killah Priest
Chillin baby
Yo, I wanna know what's going on
Ever since that Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth
I wanna know what you gonna do for us right now
It's been a while baby, we waiting...

A nonchalant dialogue opening to an epic track, ‘From Then Till Now’ explores multiple themes of the human condition. Struggle…redemption…the past directly influencing the present state. These are all detailed in this subtle, but monumental composition.

Guns, shootouts and crack sales
Black males who pack jails, trapped in Hell
No peace, cold streets, surrounded by police
This whole week, buildings with no heats
No lights and gas pipes with slow leaks
Dog fights and lowlife throw dice
The whole night thieves creeping in the midnight evenings
We saw through the misty regions...

These opening lines (of incredibly intricate wordplay) had me glued to the speakers, back in 98, and continue to do so, to this day, with every listen. Undoubtedly the most prolific, yet underrated member of the Clan, the aura of Killah Priest shines throughout his debut masterpiece, Heavy Mental.

Experiencing this tape as a teenager in 1998, had an immeasurable influence on my perception of hip-hop, storytelling & composition. Held together by the nostalgic urban soundscapes created by producers True Master, Y Kim, and 4th Disciple, this album was, and remains a classic.

In honor of this groundbreaking gem (Heavy Mental), the Japan-based producer Nomen X, along with Mystic City Assassins, is proud to present the "From Then Till Now - Nomen X Edit."
