Intro

Supastition (born Kam Moye) is a cornerstone of the North Carolina underground hip-hop scene, emerging in the early 2000s as a vital voice for the 'everyman' perspective.

His discography is a testament to the resilience of independent artists, valued by collectors for its consistency and emotional depth.
