Killah Priest – Tea Break [Video]
Killah Priest keeps expanding the universe of his new album “Abraxas 2” with the official video for “Tea Break”.
The track sits right in the middle of the record, a 12-song, 37-minute journey released in 2025 on Proverbs Records that leans fully into Priest’s cosmic, spiritual lane.
Produced by Purpose of Tragic Allies, “Tea Break” glides on warm, meditative drums and a soft, dusty loop that feels like incense smoke curling around the room. It’s laid-back but heavy, the kind of beat that gives Priest room to slow the tempo and let imagery stack up line after line.
Lyrically, he uses tea as both object and metaphor. The song opens with him reflecting on how each tea has its own character and effect, and from there he starts tying flavors, herbs and rituals to bigger ideas: craving, discipline, the way we treat our bodies, the paths we choose and the thoughts we feed. It’s classic Priest – everyday items turned into doorways to talk about spirit, purpose and how to move through a chaotic world without losing yourself.
The video, directed by Keep Yah Joy, leans all the way into that concept. Rather than a standard performance clip, it plays like a short, cinematic meditation on tea culture and harmony – slow, considered shots, calm pacing and symbolic details that echo the lyrics instead of just illustrating them literally. The focus stays on atmosphere: Priest as a kind of wandering sage, taking a “break” that’s less about downtime and more about centering, observing and tapping back into something deeper.
As part of “Abraxas 2”, “Tea Break” feels like a pause in the middle of a dense, esoteric album – a moment to breathe, sip, think and then step back into the journey. If you’re just discovering the project, this is a perfect entry point: hit play on the video, then let “Abraxas 2” run from the top and see where Priest takes you.
