Born and raised in Atlanta, SupaStishun (AKA Maurice Devon) 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 base 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."

SupaStishun, recently won BlackPlanet.com's 2007 Talent Search for his latest single, "Lalipop" (I Want Candy), making him the Emerging Artist of the Year. Linda Hobbs, of VIBE Magazine, agrees: "I was feeling SupaStishun’s drippy southern flow… He rides the rock production well, and isn’t afraid to be catchy like all the other southern emcees that’s killing the clubs right now.” Sickamore, the famous mixtape DJ and Director of A&R at Warner Music, one of the contest judges, told people to watch out for this “very marketable Southern artist”. Supa has caught the attention of millions online through BlackPlanet, the social networking site. “I write about what I think people can relate too,” says SupaStishun. “My music is an emotional roller coaster like a good book. I have content that will make you laugh, cry, and even make you angry.” Only one winner is selected every year and 14,000 people on BlackPlanet.com chose him out of 500 other artists. The contest is sponsored by BlackPlanet.com, a mixed social network 16 million deep, as a result SupaStishun was featured in VIBE Magazine Jan. 2008 issue to help increase his publicity on a national level. Now SupaStishun has entered into an agreement with Sony ATV Music Publishing so he can release the single and album digitally worldwide (iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon MP3) set for Feb.15th 2008

SWEET SUCCESS/ROLLING OUT

I f at first you don't succeed try, try again. That seems to be Atlanta rapper SupaStishun's motto.

"I started singing at first and wasn't really good at it so the next alternative was to rap," says the winner of Blackplanet.com 2007 Amplify Talent Search. BlackPlanet.com is part of the Community Connect Inc., a family of niche social networking sites that has more than 16 million members. Delivering his music to the masses was important to SupaStishun and something Blackplanet.com helped hime achieve.

"I am trying to accomplish multiple things in the music. You have to satisfy yourself as and artist and a fan of yourself and you have to satisfy the public and what they want to hear. And you have to be able to evolve with what's going on in the music industry since its changing [every day]," he says.

this new found success has not slowed SupaStishun down. He is currently finishing up his first album. "I am titling my album, The Grady Baby Album, [because] there [are] very few [native Atlantans]. I think Grady Hospital [was] the [birthplace for a lot of people]. No disrespect to the people [who were born in hospitals other than] Grady. But that's the city hospital and whether you came from the 'hood or didn't have any money, they brought you there for free. That is the [tentative] name of the album right now".

His current single, "Lalipop," produced by Baybe Lolife, can be heard at www.blackplanet.com/supastishun.
