Supastition is an underground hip hop artist from
Greenville, North Carolina. He has also recorded under
the name of Kam Moye and Blackmel (in earlier years).
He has appeared on songs with the likes of KRS-One,
The RZA, Ras Kass, Tech N9ne, Little Brother, Croup,
The Soulution, S1 (producer), M-Phazes, Tajai of Souls
of Mischief, B-Real of Cypress Hill, Royce da 5'9", Elzhi,
and countless others. After a brief career recording
under the moniker of Blackmel, he officially changed
his artist name to Supastition. He is quoted as saying,
“The name Supastition came from the fact that people
didn't believe in me when I first started pursuing
music. I had to prove myself to people and still didn't
get love from in my state and around my city at first. It
was a name I chose, because some people believe in
superstition and some don't.“Supastition later inked a
single deal with Bay Area rapper Rasco of Cali Agents
and his Pockets Linted Entertainment record label. This
union spawned the 12" vinyl for Broke Man's Anthem
and Battle Cry, both produced by Supastition himself.
