MC Supreme, a Los Angeles hip-hop performer best known for his 1990 single "Black In America," was killed in a car crash over the weekend. The emcee had pulled his car over to the side of the Pacific Coast Highway, where it was struck by a man driving a pickup truck. Supreme was pronounced dead at the scene and his female passenger was transported to a local hospital. The other driver was arrested on suspicion of a DUI. Supreme was 47.
Supreme (Dewayne Coleman) came to fame as part of the West Coast Rap All-Stars, a supergroup of California hip-hop artists that came together to produce the album We're All In The Same Gang, an anti-violence public service announcement that featured members of N.W.A. and Digital Underground, as well as MC Hammer, Ice-T and more. Supreme's "Black In America" didn't gain as much traction as the title track, but his appearance on the album helped boost awareness during the early '90s.
His sister told the City News Service that Supreme continued promoting and helping youth avoid gang activity for the next 25 years.
