Sometimes a soul survives death and seeks itself again. Through pain and loss, Ital Santos' journey of rediscovery of self begins here. A raw diary of rebirth in the I.E. that expresses frustration with life and disloyalty over a sweet selection of classic beats by DJ Premier, Supremo is an ambitious and unique artistic experience that shows how hip-hop becomes part of one’s being and survival. Supremo is an interesting piece of history for Inland Empire hip-hop nerds as Ital copes with the new psychological space and talks about life after death over previously released DJ Premier beats. Usually when someone hits rock bottom, they are not mentally in a place to produce art from it but for Santos, hip-hop is instinct. As a buff of the scene myself, I cite it as some of the best work I have yet to hear by KastOne, whose personality and attitude-filled appearance helped Ital shape something new, raw and interesting out of a remix EP that is more of a personal statement of mentality than a remix EP.
