Lathen is a multimedia storyteller, journalist and creator. Lathen recently released his long awaited docuseries ‘Bridge to Table’. Created as a way to counter the sensationalized headlines about Portland during the BLM protests and pandemic in the summer of 2020, ‘Bridge to Table’ features some of Portland’s best restaurant people who give their own accounts of what the two years after Covid first shut down the city was like. They discuss the rich culture of Portland’s food scene and the difficulty of handling the pandemic, the regulations by the local government, the uncertainty of the virus and their own economic well being, as well as the riots and the 100 days of protest in downtown. Gorbett has always felt called to use entertainment that promotes interesting and healthy dialogue to break down social barriers. To use Lathen’s own words: “…the human condition is the basis for anything of meaning to us…as humans.” You can find more about Lathen and his work at his official website LathenGorbet.com.

After leaving the major-label system, he went independent with 2001's Priesthood, and became an integral member of supergroups the HRSMN (aka the Four Horsemen) and Black Market Militia.

Brooklyn rapper Killah Priest has spent his lengthy, respected career making intensely spiritual music that connects Gnostic religious philosophy with the contemporary Black struggle. He made his first appearances on several Wu-Tang Clan side and solo projects, including albums by Gravediggaz, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and Genius/GZA, leading to the signing of his group Sunz of Man and the release of his acclaimed debut album, 1998's Heavy Mental. After leaving the major-label system, he went independent with 2001's Priesthood, and became an integral member of supergroups the HRSMN (aka the Four Horsemen) and Black Market Militia. He's continued releasing ambitious, metaphor-heavy solo albums such as 2007's The Offering and 2013's The Psychic World of Walter Reed, and produced some of the most experimental, spiritually advanced work of his career with later works such as 2020's Rocket to Nebula.
