.hip hop that feels your pain.

Saint Warhead makes hip hop with emotional depth for crazy people - and if you think his music is crazy, you should see him perform live. You might kill yourself... 

 
Saint Warhead is a 23 year-old emcee from Portland, Oregon taking a peculiar path to entering the underground hip hop scene. Originally trying to brand himself as a "Christian" artist, Saint Warhead's career started while he was serving a near 6 year sentence for a robbery conviction. Attending Berklee College of Music online and recording his first album while still incarcerated, Saint's motivation and hunger for success was apparent even in the darkest of circumstances. Saint Warhead was parolled on May 24th, 2011 after spending ages 16 to 22 inside the System. Upon re-entering society Saint continually struggled with his past lifestyle and found difficulty finding his niche in religious hip hop subgenres. Regardless, he continued his grind and became determined to redefine his identity as an artist.

As the months progressed Warhead began to make waves in local music circles performing shows around the Pacific Northwest. During this time his sound and image began to shift towards a more indie direction, one that he says is "more authentic and honest". Although still adament about his belief in God, it has no longer become the focal point of his music. Rather, it has become woven into a maze of lyrics about addiction, incarceration, depression, and relationships. Along with Saint's personal stories and struggles in life, his views on the world, and his thoughts on the state of the industry and hip hop music.
