..It began as a rhyming game between two young men as they drove back to PV (Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas) from a weekend with their families in Fort Worth, Texas.Although both had been rapping since early in their childhood, it was not until this moment that rapping took a hold of their lives.“When we started playing that game, I instantly fell in love with rapping. From that point forward, that’s all I wanted to do.Rapping was never really complicated for me. It was like I was meant to do it (rapping). The only obstacle I faced was how I would get people to listen to me
and what I had to say,†explains Troy Washington, 25-year-old artist and president of Supreme Records, Inc.Troy Washington and Mark Houston, otherwise known as Supreme and Absolute, kept that game going when they returned to the college campus of PV. In 2001, Supreme and Absolute joined Lone Star Records (based out of Fort Worth) and Da Shit Factory (based out of Houston). Collaborating with several artists on each label, Supreme and Absolute distributed several CDs on the campus of PV and throughout the Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth areas.For two years, Supreme and Absolute contributed to 10 CDs while working with Lone Star Records and Da Shit Factory, but soon became frustrated with having only one track on every CD they distributed and lacking production authority in regards to the music.“Once I got in the groove of rapping, and knew my boy Absolute was tight, I felt like people were trying to stop us from shining so after a while, I started getting restless,†reflects Supreme on rapping with Lone Star Records and Da Shit Factory.So in 2003, Supreme and Absolute broke loose from both labels and Supreme started his own company, Supreme Records, Inc.“I just got fed up and decided that if they could run a label, so could I. So I started one. I was only concerned about how I would get the buy in of all my friends and family,†states Supreme on his departure from each label. Equipped with only a low-end microphone, beats created with MTV’s Music Generator 1 (made on the original Sony Playstation) and slicing them on his computer using Magic Music Studio, Supreme set up make shift studios wherever he could for Supreme Records.Originally, Supreme and Absolute were the only artists on the Supreme Records label, but it was not long before Supreme gained the buy in from his family and friends that he was concerned about originally. Soon, Supreme Records added such artists as NinoCizzle, Quite Frank, Da Hethan, Tekniq, Rod T, G-Money, XVI, The Professional, Kreshendo, and Retro. They distributed their first compilation record, Choices: Training Camp, in May of 2003 and followed that up with five more albums before going through a reconstruction phase in December 2005.Since then, Supreme Records has added four more artists, Miamore, B-Lee, G-Kel, and A-Mac, has produced 1 more compilation CD, and has appeared in over 40 performances across the state of Texas.“I see Supreme Records being one of the major players in the business world. It’s not just a music thing. I just decided to go that route because that’s what we’re best in,†expresses Supreme on his thoughts regarding the future of Supreme Records. Supreme and Absolute, two young men who started rapping with a simple rapping game, are a part of an enterprise that’s growing with flavor, talent, and reputation.Watch Me "Da Remix"
