The Supreme Team was a crack gang that operated throughout the 1980's in New York City. Their headquarters was in a Jamaica, Queens apartment complex; however they controlled a huge chunk of the entire city itself, including Harlem. The leader was Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff and his brother, nicknamed "Prince". In 1989, thanks to the work of a high-ranking informant, the Team was disbanded, and McGriff spent 10 years in a federal prison for a narcotics conviction.

In Music

The infamous Supreme Team has been the subject of songs like 50 Cent's "Ghetto Quaran" and Nas' "Memory Lane".
