| Releases: | [Thug Worship] [Turn up your radio] [Keepin' it real] [Sprinkle Me Luv] | | Info: | Priesthood now consists of J-Raw, Mr. Swift and Chico
Breeze. The group was founded in 1994 by J-Raw (junior
Moaalii) and Papa Semm (Semi Tafao). The two came from
different gospel rap groups. J-Raw was with a group called
"Prophets of Peace" and Papa Semm was with "Next of
Kin". In 1996 Mr. Swift was added to the line up.
Name
But the crew had been together playing shows, without a
name, until Papa Semm presented, "Priesthood". This he saw
in the Bible in Hebrews 7:24, "Because Jesus lives forever,
we are a permanent Priesthood".
Papa Semm left after the recording of "Turn up your radio"
in 2002. He went to help his mother to run their church.
Metro One Music
Priesthood released an independent tape in late 1997 and was
soon there after signed to Metro 1 Music, January 15,1999.
Their debut "Sprinkle Me Luv", was released in stores,
July 20th, 1999.
The music is a mix of hip hop and R&B, which blends into a
very soulful sound.
Crew
J-Raw or Junior Moaalii as he is known by friends and family
was born in California, but was raised in American Samoa, an
island within the South Pacific. He returned back to
California in 1988. His parents were divorced and he finally
ended in Lynwood where he stayed with his uncle and his
family, who were devout followers of the Lord. J-Raw grew up
listening to different styles of music in which later
developed into a passion to write. He first started out in a
group called "Prophet's Of Peace", who released a couple
of independant CD's and he was also involved with a group
from Compton, who had a group called "Village Crew
Production". Then J-Raw decided to use his talents for God
and founded Priesthood.
Identity
Mr. Swift (Kirk Douglas) was raised in a christian home,
still he was searching for his identity. He didn't like the
person, who he was. At a young age he accepted he needed
Jesus in his life. He says about that time "So, I asked
Jesus into my life personally and from the age of 15 he's
never left me".
Foundation
Adam Maaele is Chici Breeze, who was born and raised in
Carson, California. Adam was heavily involved in gangs, but
had his grandparents and other people praying for him. This
laid the foundation for the change in the lifestyle he was
leading. In the year 1994 he accepted God. Now he's married
and has four daughters.
New Project
On May 10th, 2007 the crew announces a new project in it's
final stages before completion, entitled "Thug Worship". |
