Mastah-Suprêm – Cameroun – Rap/RnB

Mastah-Suprêm seduced the public with his song « Ma part d’ombre… ». A sensual title for some words by the realities of the Cameroonian youth….

www.myspace.com/thisissupreme

« A first short description of Mastah Suprêm would be: Born to give the best of himself and of his music. Artist from deep in soul, multicultural person with multi-talents.

Multicultural: he travelled between Yaoundé his land of origin, Berlin, Dakar, Madrid, New-York and Paris, and aims at sharing his experiences with his current and future fans via his music with such a particular rhythm.

Multi talents: leader since his childhood, musician and composer: he plays diverse instruments including the flute; Mastah Suprêm writes, sings and composes since 1999.

With his poet’s writing he gave himself the mission to revive people’s minds politically and poetically. In the jungle of big cities his gift for writing becomes blowpipe, coming from the urban bushes! Mastah Suprêm tells, targets with right words, these words taken from the school from the street, his rhythms are instinctive and cutting, with the supreme goal that they remain anchored in the memories a bit more than eternity…

Mastah Suprêm gets inspired from various themes, between Hollywood and African influences, a bit from his life and from the lives of those who crossed his. He wants to be a witness of our era: he wants to tell the pain, and also share his dreams of humanity, he longs for waking consciences, a smile in the souls of his fans thanks to his music and to his words full of the hard reality…. »
