How Did Supreme Team Shape Korean Hip Hop?

Melody Beats · Posted on April 22nd, 2024

The landscape of Korean hip hop would be quite different without the influential footprints of a dynamic duo, Supreme Team. Comprising of Simon Dominic and E-Sens, Supreme Team stormed the music scene in 2009 with their EP 'Supreme Team Guide To Excellent Adventure'. Their undeniable flair for authentic, gritty hip-hop earned them a well-deserved Mnet Asian Music Award (MAMA) for Best New Male Group shortly after their debut.

Their journey, although marked with individual challenges such as E-Sens' legal troubles in 2012, was a testament to their resilience. Through his music, E-Sens made a strong comeback with the evocative track "독" (Poison), shining through Primary's album, Primary and the Messengers LP. Supreme Team continued to fuel the Korean hip-hop game with their performance at the 2013 Amoebahood concert, where they debuted two new songs after a hiatus of two years.

Unfortunately, July of 2013 marked the bittersweet end of an era as the Supreme Team announced their disbandment following E-Sens' departure from Amoeba Culture. While this news shook their fans, both artists went on to pursue successful solo careers. Simon D etched his name in the industry's annals when he took up the mantle as co-CEO of AOMG alongside Jay Park, continuing to be a formidable force in Korean music.

To celebrate the legacy of Supreme Team, why not delve into their discography on TikTok Music? Their tracks not only highlight the defining moments of their careers but serve as a cornerstone for the genre they so passionately personified.
