Tomorrow Wont Come....so Supe will take over Today


"Without music, life would be a mistake" states German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Even though Nietzsche lived decades ago, musical mastermind Supe has given more meaning to this quote with one mixtape than most professional artists have in their career. Dedicating his life to the composition of some of the most compelling, vivid and thought-provoking songs in the DMV, fame and success is all I can see in the future of this VSU alumni. Supe's newest release, Tomorrow Wont Come, has become a new entry in my personal DMV music hall of fame, and soon will be in yours too. I had the chance to download the new mixtape the day it was released and listen with a few of my employees and close friends. One theme that was repetitive throughout the entire listening session was "he is just doing him". For example, the first track "Hands Off Me" produced by the Baron Boys illustrates how being a individual can bring out the worse in others, but persevering through it all will bring success and happiness. A musical 'Thank You' note to his supporters, doubters and haters, this track shows gratitude toward every acknowledgment (negative and positive) that Supe has experienced throughout his career and how it has influenced and motivated him. "..this for the ones who said we never would be/look what we've done, consecutively/ what have i done to make you jealous of me/we've just begun, we've just begun...". Supe definitely has the inspirational and motivational songs down pack on this project....but the club bangas and the "check my swag" theme songs are in abundance as well. Prime example, the track titled "Is It you", which was also listed on AllBmorehiphop's Street Radio Vol 7, smh one word BANANAS! This is not your typical club banga, this is the "Yes, Im feeling myself and you should too!" type song. Personal favorite chorus line "...Is it you..is it you...or is it you...WHO IMMA S#!T ON?!" and classic verses "...im coolest up north, im the coolest in da south, tell them boyz ova 'dere im the newest nigga out...dem boyz ova here dont play,get em out, pick a rapper, get 'em out, he'll get ate n shitted out..." over the uptempo beat produced by industry icon Beat da Knocker, will definitely become your "headed to the club" theme song! Not to mention "Dumb", which also features Baltimore legends Smash (T-MAC) and JD, drips with the same narcissistic flavor to feed your ego even more. And the best part of this track is that it is produced by one of Baltimore's BEST and I mean BEST producers ever, J Oliver! If you havnt gotten to known him, please Google him ASAP! And yes ladies, Supe has not forgotten about you at all...check out tracks "Do with You" and "Kiss Her"which will give you that "strolling down lovers lane" feel after listening. The softer side of Supe can be heard through each verse he spits on both tracks, not to mention the exclusive behind closed doors themed track "Freaky Side" will definitely have his female fan base downloading the album ASAP. In conclusion, I would give this project 4 out of 5 stars. I can definitely see Supe reaching the fame and stardom he has been pursuing for years soon. The mixtape shows alot of growth from earlier songs and collabs I have heard Supe on previously, but there is always room for improvement. He has all the elements for this project to be the stepping stone that catapults him into the major leagues. With cameos from major music icons, production from industry greats, a strong team behind him, and catchy but stimulating lyrics Supe's foundation has already been laid to build onto. His upcoming project Slick Nigga Soundtrack (which falls under D2 Management) will include even more classic singles such as "Talk of the Town"f/ Rickie Jacob, production by the talented Kanye West, and even more surprise cameos from DMV's finest as well as some industry idols. But as of right now, I see him on the correct path to achieve any musical goals that he has set out to accomplish.
