Musician Information
It’s no secret that the south is a hotbed of hip-hop talent but in the case of Eatavius Ferguson a.k.a. Supreme, he is on his way to becoming a messiah in the new hip-hop mecca known as the ATL!
With a style he describes as “supreme” Ferguson has been nurturing a love affair with music since he was a percussionist in his sixth-grade band at Martin Luther King middle school in . Being in the band fueled his desire to make music and when he heard his cousin – Sand Grady – was rapping he began to play around with writing his own lyrics. Then in when he heard Ball & MJG for the first time, Ferguson’s musical love affair was elevated to the realm of hip-hop along with his dreams of making it in the rap game.
It didn’t take long for him to team up with his cousin Grady and start developing his producer and rapping skills. But, it wasn’t until a fateful night at a local club that he was bit by the performing bug in his first live performance that got him hooked on hip-hop.
“I performed my first song at the Silver Fox in Bankhead,” he recalled. “It must have been in . After that, I just knew that was what I wanted to do.”
From there, it was a wrap; Supreme was born and the Atlanta underground music scene was under assault. Supreme recalls performing at bowling allies, skating rings, public parks and any open-mic he could find because he loved it so much. When he wasn’t performing, he was cranking out the beats and tracks. Soon he picked up a couple of artist for hire contracts with Music and Rock Me Right productions where he was paid to submit what he called “skeleton tracks,” which more established producers would alter to create tracks for their artists. This experience validated his promise as a burgeoning producer especially since Tony Mercedes and Reggie Rock of LaFace Records – two leading producers at the time – accepted most of his tracks. By this time, Supreme was a junior in high school and had put the band behind him to pursue his music career full time while working.
Around the late ‘ s into the s, Supreme picked up a clique who formed a group called Hog Tyed that was bringing the fire and burning up the underground scene under the production team Triple O out of Garry Indiana. He credits them with giving the group their first real chance to show their skills after they were noticed while entertaining passengers on the subway in Atlanta. With Triple O’s Midwest style and that signature ATL swagger, audiences had trouble believing that the group was all Atlanta natives – which was a good thing. The exposure generated through their alliances with local club promoters and local fans led to opening credits where they opened for Roc-A-Fella in at the Georgia International Convention Center.
Although the group has been on hiatus for a couple of years, they produced a compilation CD in titled We Been Here that is still widely circulated on the internet and throughout the Southeast. The Hog Tyed clique also released the single So Fly that same year. In March of , Supreme was invited to host a radio show which broadcasted on a local AM station. The show aired every Friday night from pm to Midnight and was produced by ATLanta Movement Radio. The show was entitled Movement Radio. Shortly after Movement Radio, ATLanta Movement Radio left the local AM ‘circuit’ to infiltrate the World Wide Web. Now, in its second straight year, Supreme has blessed audiences with his personality and style and truly placed his signature on cyberspace as the host of the show called Supreme Saturdays.
Now, as a solo artist, Supreme is busy working on his debut CD and being a husband and father to his three boys ( , , and -years-old) who he says are blessings that keep him grounded within his musical pursuits. Still, his dreams sour towards one day sitting at a boardroom table interviewing the next hot artists for his own label. He says he also aspires to work with T-Pain, Andre and Rick Ross, who all represent the southern hip-hop that helped inspire his dreams. Supreme is also scheduled as a featured artist at the Atlantis Music Conference (Sept. - ) in Atlanta where he will be ripping the mic at the Apache Café and showing why his skills are SUPREME!
