SupremeEx is the concept album musical alias of Yameen Friedberg, aka "StinkE;" a hiphop producer from Philadelphia, PA. The name "SupremeEx" is generally reserved for collaborative albums between Yameen and Tajai of Souls of Mischief / Hieroglyphics.
In 1999, SupremeEx and Tajai released the critically-acclaimed EP, "Projecto: 2501" - applauded for its imaginative use of story telling elements such as included trading cards, Enhanced CD and web-delivered content. Guest artists Shing02, Low Budget (Hollertronix), Jay Biz (Hieroglyphics), DJ Nozawa & Major Terror also make appearances. Additional content is also included on the Enhanced CD including a bonus MP3, computer wallpaper, videos in the studio recording "Projecto" and more.
Prior to this release, SupremeEx released the instrumental-only affair, "Destructor" which originally caught the ear of Tajai (leading to the recording of "Projecto") as well as Bobbito's Footworks, Electronic Arts / EA Sports as well as Ecko clothing and others.
In 2005, Rumble Pack Records released an all-new full-length album from SupremeEx & Tajai entitled, "Nuntype". Again, building on the story-telling aspects the duo established on, "Projecto" Nuntype is an album about Chaos, Prophecy and Change with Tajai as a deity who wields the power of Creation. Guest artist included R&B crooner, Goapele on the album's single, "Meaning".
Although never established as an official labelmate, nor indicative of the classic "Hiero sound", SupremeEx's roots as Stinke — the creator and curator of Hieroglyphics.com between 1995 and 2001 — offer him a curious niche in helping broaden the Hiero discography.
