Artist Profile: Superneeks - U Turn Me On

What happens when 3 ordinary people with very extraordinary talents come together…? A combination of complex lyrical skill, infectious melodies and quirky beats topped off with cheeky wit. A unique entity in an industry congested with homogenous sounds and monotonous personalities… (Uh, in layman’s terms, they sound different to everybody else) Well, Superneeks are here to save the day. The group, which consists of members Johnny Mensah, Lewis Scott and DatBoyWes met at Kingston University in 2007, although they didn’t start creating music together until mid 2009. It took a while to form their sound as all members had different musical qualities and backgrounds. Johnny Mensah crafted his skill in the Grime scene, making appearances on radio and Channel U. Lewis Scott has a background in Hip Hop, writing complex lyrical raps since the age of 14. However, both MC’s were ready to leave music behind, until linking up with Lewis’ twin brother, Music student and production all-rounder DatBoyWes. It was not until a number of freestyle sessions and friendly battles that the group started to blend and later foresee the synergy that would become this unique sound. “We took the normal aspects of our lives and made them into interesting situations that everyone can relate too” says Lewis. “That’s what the Superneeks are about. We represent the non extremes and make them extreme, with a touch of swagger”. It is this what makes Superneeks so interesting. The ability to portray reality in a sense that is real to everyone, not just a media hyped perception of youth in Britain. Superneeks are a super group with a fresh style that separates them from, you know… the usual.
