Supa Nate
Nathaniel Elder,[1] better known by his stage name Supa Nate, was one of the rappers in the hip-hop group Konkrete and a member of Dungeon Family. He grew up in Atlanta, where he attended Banneker High School.[2] He made his debut in 1998 on "Nathaniel" on Outkast's Aquemini, in which he delivered an original rap, sans back beat, from a jail telephone. The lyrics reference his wish to get out of jail so he can "grab a mic and bust a flow". After his release, Nate joined with rappers C-Bone and James "Lil' Brotha" Patton to form Konkrete.
