In what may come as a sad surprise to listeners and fans alike, veteran rapper Kam Moye (aka Supastition) will not make another album in his music career.
In a MySpace post this past spring the North Caroline emcee stated, “It wasn’t an easy decision for me but I felt that it was the best choice. I’ve sacrificed a lot of money and time and it’s just not worth it to continue with it the way I have done in the past.”
While he still plans to finish up collaborative projects with close producers Dela, D.R. and Madwreck, Moye made it clear that no work hereafter will be made for profit. Showing upmost respect to supporters that have followed him for over a decade, he concluded, “This isn’t some corny retirement speech or ‘I quit’ rant…just me personally giving you an update on what to expect and what not to expect from me.”
