How Did Supreme Team Shape the Hip Hop Scene in Korea?

Melody Beats · Posted on May 3rd, 2024

The vibrant energy of Seoul's underground scene buzzed anew when Supreme Team, a duo composed of Simon Dominic and E-Sens, burst onto the South Korean hip hop landscape. Their musical journey, much like the alleys of Hongdae, was filled with bold moves and sharp turns, leading to a legacy that's still discussed in the corridors of Korean pop culture today.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane to 2009. The airwaves get hit with a fresh, dynamic EP named Supreme Team Guide To Excellent Adventure. This wasn't just any debut; it claimed the Mnet Asian Music Award for Best New Male Group, setting the stage for a new era in Korean hip hop.

The story of Supreme Team is not without its twists. E-Sens faced legal issues in 2012, taking a sharp turn in their narrative. But true to the resilience of an artist, he made a return with '독' (Poison), a track that echoed through the hip hop community with its compelling beats and honest lyrics.

2013 saw them at the Amoebahood concert, performing together after a hiatus, revealing new music that captivated their fans. Yet, as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Their disbandment in 2013 was a jolt to fans, but it marked the beginning of new chapters for both members, with Simon Dominic taking the helm of AOMG as co-CEO alongside Jay Park.

Their music still resonates, and fans looking to relive the Supreme Team experience, can now turn to TikTok Music, a platform that understands the pulse of the music industry and the importance of providing a space for legendary sounds to continue to thrive.
