BANG! @southernvangard #radio presents @supastition_NC interview session!! You don’t say NC hip-hop without mentioning this man’s name - check the resume if you don’t already know - he’s been putting it down for long time for NC and the South in general. We dig into early day goodness, his first record deal experience with Davy DMX that ended up the inspiration for his debut LP “7 Years of Bad Luck”, why he had to hold down rhyme duties and get behind the boards himself early in his career, his early 12” deal with Rasco and his incredible knack for using little known producers early in their careers, that eventually turned future Grammy winners - Jake One, M-Phazes & Illmind to name a few! Supa breaks down his ceiling smashing appearance on “The Williams” alongside Foreign Exchange founder Nicolay in the early days of Okayplayer, his history & relationships with Little Brother, Big Dho and the entire Justus League, not to mention a great story around “Rollin’ Out”, the Khrysis produced heater that appeared on the DJ Drama / Little Brother mixtape “Separate But Equal”. On top of all that, we have a great sidebar convo about Landmark Diner and the regional expansion of Cookout’s across the Southeast, challenges in the Charlotte hip-hop scene, how Supa’s move to the ATL has gone and becoming part of the Soundsci collective. Of course we get into his new album, “The Gold Standard”, which drops June 2 and will be available on his 60+ day tour with Blueprint that kicks off in late May! See the show, cop some merch and support real music! // southernvangard.com // #hiphop #rap #DJ #mix #interviews #podcast #ATL #NC #WORLDWIDE
