Inspired by the NWA family tree, The Click, Dj Quik, 2pac, Big Pun , Nas, Big L, Kurupt, The Luniz and the Wu Tang Clan ; His lyrics are colorful, witty, thought provoking, humorous, angry, sometimes cocky, honest, urban and as he would say “tycoonish” as he tends to run playfully with the “Bay Area Slang” at times. After seeing a school talent show in 1999, he started rapping with friends Dave Kemp, Kevin Halloway and Brandon Smart as the Originalz. They recorded some material but everybody left to college to pursue other things. Away at Auburn University in Alabama, Supa Knova entered his first freestyle battle in 2002 and came in 2nd place to Atlanta rapper P. Dukes. After the battle, Supa Knova focused on school, writing and finding a studio in the Auburn Alabama area. With the death of his grandfather and sophmore roommate on his mind, he focused on poetry writing and held monthly open mic nights in the Auburn University NAACP in 2004 that are presently ongoing. By 2005, he got back into writing rap lyrics and started looking for a place to record. 2006 brings a relationship with Q of Won Love Ent and they have been at work since. Now Supa Knova is working on the completion of Go Hard or Go Homeless;and graduating. |
