The feature documentary “I Was the Weirdo” uses the story of pioneering underground rapper Priest Da Nomad to shed light on the little known U street hip hop and arts subculture in the nation’s capital of Washington D.C., and how it was affected by politics, crime, black prominence, and D.C.’s own brand of live music known as Go-Go. It also shows how this very transient and historical city, which in many ways is the center of the world, has produced and connected so many prominent artists, journalists, film makers, and political figures!
