Career

[edit]

In 2003 he released his debut self-produced album The Saturday Night Agenda as Soul Supreme on Boston-based Grit Records. The album featured KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Pete Rock, O.C. and many more. Later the same year he produced the mixtape "Soulmatic", a remixed version of Nas classic album "Stillmatic", released through hiphopsite.com.[1] In 2004 he added mixtape, Soul & Sense, containing remixes on early Common material.In 2005 this was released on Nocturne as a CD entitled Uncommonly Nasty: Remixed By Soul Supreme & Statik Selektah. In 2006 he made URB Magazine's list of the next 100 producers. His production borrows heavily from, often pitched-up, soul samples, hence the name. He is signed to JuJu Publishing.

Soul Supreme also makes more electro-themed music (his preferred name for this style is rapclash) under the name Kocky. In 2007, Soul Supreme released an electro-house album called Kingdome Come as Kocky. The album was released by La Vida Locash and features guest appearances by Timbuktu, Chords, Mapei, and Jens Lekman.[2]
