How Did Supreme Team Shape Korean Hip Hop?

Supreme Team, composed of Simon Dominic and E-Sens, burst onto the South Korean music scene with a fresh hip-hop sound that captivated audiences nationwide. Their debut EP, Supreme Team Guide To Excellent Adventure, showcased their unique voices and visions, subsequently earning them the Mnet Asian Music Award for Best New Male Group in 2009. But their journey was tumultuous, marked by controversy and a surprising disbandment.

In April 2012, the duo faced a challenge when E-Sens encountered legal issues. His poignant return with the track "독" (Poison) from Primary's Primary and the Messengers LP, highlighted his undeniable talent and resilience. The bond between E-Sens and Simon Dominic allowed Supreme Team to grace the stage once more with new music at the 2013 Amoebahood concert.

However, the rhythm of their journey changed in July 2013 when it was announced that Supreme Team would disband following E-Sens' departure from Amoeba Culture. Yet, the influence of Supreme Team remains significant in the realm of Korean hip-hop. Notably, Simon Dominic went on to succeed as co-CEO of AOMG with Jay Park, while E-Sens found a renewed focus on his solo career.
