Artist Spotlight: Kam Moye aka Supastition

Kam Moye aka Supastition was born in 1976 in the city of Greenville, North Carolina. At the age of 18 he began to pursue a career in music, and around '95 was signed to Lo Key Records, then spent two years waiting for his contract to expire. Supa soon after released "Broke Man's Anthem" on Rasco's Pockets Linted label. In 2002, he released his debut album, 7 Years of Bad Luck on Freshchest Records.

In 2003, he appeared on the Cunninlynguists release of SouthernUnderground. Supa gained some serious attention in 2004 when he entered a contest on Okayplayer. His song "The Williams" produced by Nicolay was the winner and was later placed on the True Notes, Vol. 1 compilation.

Summer 2004, KRS-ONE's album Keep Right featured Supastition on "Still Spittin", and later that year Supa released The Deadline EP. His single "Boombox" for the EP was rated #2 on National College Radio charts at one point and was also featured on MTV2's One Life: The Love, The Game.

He appeared on projects by Little Brother [The Chittlin Circuit 1.5], Pumpkinhead [Orange Moon Over Brooklyn], and Cesar Comanche [The Squirrel & The Aces] in 2005, and made a big push towards the end of the year with his second full length album, Chain Letters. Chain Letters featured nearly flawless production with the likes of Jake One, Illmind, M-Phazes, & Nicolay, and received high praise from XXL and various other publications.

In 2007 Supastition & DJ Forge released the mixtape Guest of Honor, which also featured heavy production from Jake One, Marco Polo, M-Phazes, Illmind, Khrysis, among others.
