Sam Supreme, a native of Cleveland, Ohio, is a powerhouse in the underground hip-hop scene, showcasing unmatched lyrical prowess across genres for over two decades. Beginning her career in 2001 with the Cleveland-based trio LMNTL, she has since become a seasoned hip-hop artist advocating for artist ownership and growth in the community. Now embarking on a solo journey, Sam is poised to elevate her artistic expression to new heights. Her music seamlessly blends hip-hop essentials, soulful dance melodies, and the high energy of punk rock, creating electrifying performances that captivate audiences and leave them craving more. Co-founding Fresh By Nature Records before going solo, Sam's impact extends beyond her music, pioneering Hip-Hop entrepreneurship programs for local youth and earning accolades such as "Best of Hip-Hop" by Cleveland Scene Magazine with duo FreshProduce. Her latest EP, "I Lost My Hard Drive Twice In One Year," released under SWIIM Recordings in 2023, solidifies her resilience and commitment to pushing boundaries in the industry. Sam Supreme stands as an emerging force representing resiliency and inspiration through her multifaceted artistry. "I want to demonstrate and connect artist to the power they have through music and how it is a valuable asset to society. I believe that we are in a new era in music and how the business of music is conducted which could benefit artist who want to maintain ownership and creative control of their music. Yes I make music and I would like to share the creations that I make but as I get older I want create a infrastructure in Cleveland for artist to educate themselves and pursue business development and careers in music. My initiative Great People Make Great Music is an event where I try to bring this concept together with community." - Sam Supreme
