Supreme Team (Korean: 슈프림팀) was a South Korean hip hop duo made up of Simon Dominic and E-Sens. They officially debuted in 2009 with their EP Supreme Team Guide To Excellent Adventure.[1] Following their debut, they received a Mnet Asian Music Award (MAMA) for Best New Male Group. In April 2012, E-Sens was sentenced two years of probation for smoking marijuana.[2] E-Sens returned to the music scene in October 2012 through the release of the song "독" (Poison) from hip hop producer Primary's album, Primary and the Messengers LP.[3] Most recently, Supreme Team revealed and performed two new songs at the 2013 Amoebahood concert. This was their first time performing new music together in two years.[4] In July 2013, news outlets reported Supreme Team's disbandment due to E-Sens' contract termination with Amoeba Culture.[5] E-Sens confirmed the news himself in a tweet, adding his intent to focus on his solo career.[6][non-primary source needed] Simon D later joined as co-CEO of AOMG with Jay Park.
