In the debut edition of our LightReel Spotlight series, Keeping It Reel with FilmGordon features an in-depth conversation with one of D.C.’s most enduring and insightful hip-hop voices, Priest da Nomad.
A veteran emcee, cultural curator, and independent powerhouse, Priest has long been a fixture in the DMV music scene. With a career spanning decades, he’s built a reputation not just as a lyrical craftsman but as a socially conscious artist who uses his voice to uplift, challenge, and educate.
In this intimate interview, hosts Tim Gordon and Charles Kirkland, Jr. sit down with Priest to discuss his early beginnings, his commitment to honoring hip-hop’s foundation, the evolving music industry, and his ongoing mission to create music that matters. From surviving the industry grind to inspiring the next generation, Priest opens up about his journey, his growth, and what it means to stay true in a shifting cultural landscape.
This episode launches our LightReel Spotlight series, a new platform highlighting artists, creators, and innovators whose work reflects the mission of the LightReel Film Festival: to elevate BIPOC voices and stories across media.
But that’s not all…
We’ll also share our latest film reviews, including:

- Fight or Flight – A gripping psychological action drama that questions whether survival comes at the cost of humanity.
We’ll have all of that and more on the latest episode of Keeping It Reel with FilmGordon.
