Supreme Team, a three-part documentary series directed by Nas and Peter J Scalettar for Mass Appeal, premiered at the Tribeca Festival last month and is now accessible for streaming and on-demand for all SHOWTIME subscribers. The documentary explores the Supreme Team, the renowned Queens, New York crime organization, and tells the genuine tale directly from its two leaders, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff and Gerald “Prince” Miller. Viewers are given access beyond the headlines to examine the broader cultural dynamics and the impact that this small group from South Jamaica Queens has had on Hip-Hop culture through the voices of these two infamous leaders, the syndicate’s members, as well as Hip Hop legend LL Cool J, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, journalist Joy Reid, singer Ashanti, producer Irv Gotti, and others in the local community, politics, law enforcement, academia, and popular culture. This week we sit down with Peter J Scalettar (Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men, Don't Try to Understand: A Year in the Life of Earl 'DMX' Simmons, Ice Cold: The Untold Story of Hip Hop Jewelry, Supervillain: The Making of Tekashi 6ix9ine) from the world famous Emilio’s Ballato in New York City and chop it up about the new documentary, hip hop, sneakers, food and so much more! www.solefreeradio.com
