Supreme Team – Miniseries
Episodes
The Foundation
Before becoming leaders of the notorious Supreme Team, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff and Gerald “Prince” Miller were young boys growing up in the thriving middle-class section of South Jamaica, Queens. But as New York took a turn in the ‘70s, a traumatic childhood experience with law enforcement and newfound role models would ultimately pave the way for the forming of the Supreme Team in the early ‘80s.
War & Peace
The Supreme Team was on top of the world: heroes to the burgeoning hip hop community while making money hand over fist as the crack epidemic swept the country. But an NYPD officer’s murder in South Jamaica got the attention of Mayor Giuliani and President Bush. The heavy hand of the law came down hard and fast on the Supreme Team and drug dealers not just in New York but across the country, changing the face of policing as we know it today.
Truth & Consequences
An opportunity to rebrand himself as movie and music producer in the early 2000s gives Supreme a chance to go legit. While in prison, Prince is able to effectively reflect on his past choices, and plan for his future as a re-assessment of unjust crack sentencing provides a glimmer of hope for Prince’s release from prison.
