Superior

**Superior** (often stylized as SUPerior) is an underground hip-hop producer known for crafting gritty, sample-rich beats that nod to golden-era boom-bap while feeling fresh and urgent. With a knack for dusty loops and head-nodding rhythms, he’s become a sought-after collaborator for lyricists like Rome Streetz and Ty Farris, both of whom appear on the standout track *Cantonese Characters*. Tracks like *Testament of The Times* and *Stone Fish Venom* showcase his ability to pair raw, soulful production with hard-hitting verses, cementing his role in keeping New York’s underground rap scene vital. Whether flipping obscure jazz snippets or layering hazy atmospherics (as heard on *Sleep is the Cousin*), Superior’s work feels like a love letter to hip-hop’s core ethos: authenticity, skill, and endless reinvention.
