History
Sidney grew up in Wyandanch, New York where he met Rakim and got him influenced unto the music business. In the early '90's, he was already famous for remixing, writing, and producing on albums for Freddie Foxxx, Slick Rick, Color Me Badd, Nikki D, Zhane, and Queen Latifah. Ever since his son (Javon) was five years old, he taught him how to play the guitar, piano, drums, and Logic Pro, so music was all he knew growing up. In 2012͵ The Superiors have produced the song "The Spirit" on Lloyd Banks' twelfth mixtape V.6: The Gift. The production came about when, Von was always working with Banks' engineer, he contacted them one day and told them Banks had rapped on one of their beats and said it was going to be a banger. In, 2013, The Superiors produced the single "Lean & Molly" on Tony Yayo's mixtape, The Godfather Of The Ghetto.
