Critical Praise:

The Single:
With impeccable melodic instincts and cutting lyricism, Supa Bwe stands out in the crowded Chicago rap scene for his singular creativity. Taking a break from his angsty status quo, Supa Bwe exults in his rising star on “Up Right Now,” his latest single. Floating over liquid keyboards and bouncy brass with a soaring auto-tuned hook, Supa Bwe sends a message to all the ladies in the Chicago metro area: “Feel like it’s my time/Just want to spend some with you/Cause girl I’m up right now/Let’s grab this table for two.” Featuring an appearance from golden-voiced R&B hybrid Xavier Omär, “Up Right Now” is a relentlessly positive anthem, notable for its vibrant musicality. Premiered by HYPEBEAST, “Up Right Now” is the latest single from Finally Dead, Supa Bwe’s upcoming album. Featuring additional appearances from Saba and others, Supa Bwe’s Finally Dead is slated to release on December 6th via EMPIRE.
Exploring dark themes with uncommon candor and sly self-awareness,, Supa Bwe fuses and transcends genre, burrowing into the innovative productions with his impressive bars. Around Halloween time, Supa Bwe released the haunting video for “I Hate Being Alive,” which is rapidly approaching 1 million plays on Spotify. fixture in the Chicago scene, Supa Bwe has collaborated with the likes of Chance The Rapper, Twista, Mick Jenkins, and Taylor Bennett, among many others. With alternately beautiful and abrasive sonics influenced by electronic music and ’90s alt-rock, Finally Dead is Supa Bwe’s most diverse and accomplished project yet. “I would call my sound a conglomerate of English ‘fuck you’ dystopian punk, Rick James’ cold blooded, ‘I’m going to do my cocaine and smack you about it,’ and Prince’s ambiguous individuality,” explained Supa Bwe to XXL in their feature, The Break. “I pull champion traits from champions.” Finally Dead is currently available for pre-order.
