Who Suppa is · Read the full story · Frequently asked questions
His death in 2013 changes everything for Gwada Bouyon. The first wave's lead singer is gone, and Asa Bantan ends up carrying the Dominica-to-Guadeloupe link for the decade that follows. Around him inside Gaza Crew: Vador who lays the foundations in 2007 with Vadore Concept, J2MO behind the beats, Weelow who pushes the releases and runs the parties.
Not to confuse with the Yellow Gaza collective (same era, different members) or with Gaza Girls Crew, the female collective born from Gaza Crew which drops "Sa Zot Vle" in 2011 and "Volé Nonm A Moun" in 2013. Ten years later, the New Bouyon Wave emerges in the space he left empty.
Suppa is the late lead voice of the first Bouyon Gwada wave. Born in Dominica but settled in Guadeloupe, he founded Gaza Crew, a collective distinct from Yellow Gaza (same era, different members) and from Gaza Girls Crew (a female collective that came directly out of Gaza Crew). His oldest documented public audio trace is the recording "Suppa - I Don't Kow", published on 16 November 2011 on the Vadore Concept Groupe SoundCloud account. It is direct evidence of the Bouyon Gwada ecosystem before the streaming era, alongside Weelow (Co3 Studio, February 2012), Yellow Gaza ("Bouwe'y", May 2012) and Doc J ("We Love Bouyon", September 2012).
His reach goes beyond Dominica. December 2012 marks the first trace of Bouyon Gwada circulating towards the European diaspora: a Paris performance documented by the Rebel Up blog with Suppa, Gaza Girls and DJ Joe on the same bill. A year later, Rebel Up's "Bouyon Hardcore 2k13" mix (16 December 2013, 70 minutes) tags him as one of the genre's five key names, alongside Gaza Girls, DJ Joe, Doc J and Weelow. That early European circulation is what proves Bouyon Gwada crossed the Atlantic well before the TikTok and platform era, a decade before Holly G at the Eurockéennes in 2025.
