Biography
SupaStishun (AKA Maurice SupaStishun) began writing rap and R&B music at 16 years old. He got his start recording in high school with a school mate and a low budget studio. Since then, the production of his music has made impressive strides. "Lalipop" (I Want Candy)", produced by Atlanta producer Baybe-Lolife, displays a sophisticated arrangement, a far cry from the bass tapes of Supa's teenage years. Growing up, Supa listened religiously to the sounds of Slick Rick and Ice Cube. He also follows in the footsteps of major ATL rappers like T.I. and Ludacris, in addition to OutKast and Goodie Mob. Says SupaStishun about his favorite Atlanta rappers, "They did what I did; they saw what I saw. I just related with them all the way."
