**Hip Hop 80s Wednesdays: Spotlight on "Supersonic" by J.J. Fad**

Welcome to Hip Hop 80s Wednesdays! This week, we're diving into "Supersonic," the electrifying hit by J.J. Fad that took the hip hop scene by storm in 1988.

"Supersonic" is an iconic track that perfectly encapsulates the energy and innovation of late 80s hip hop. Released as the lead single from their debut album of the same name, "Supersonic" quickly climbed the charts, earning a gold certification and establishing J.J. Fad as one of the pioneering female rap groups in the industry.

The song is characterized by its fast-paced, rhythmic delivery and infectious beat, showcasing the trio's unique style and charisma. Comprised of members MC J.B., Baby-D, and Sassy C., J.J. Fad brought a fresh, female perspective to a predominantly male-dominated genre, paving the way for future generations of women in hip hop.

"Supersonic" stands out not only for its catchy hook and memorable lyrics but also for its production, which was handled by Dr. Dre and DJ Yella of N.W.A. The song's futuristic sound and energetic vibe made it a staple in clubs and on the radio, leaving a lasting impact on the hip hop community.

As we celebrate "Supersonic" on this Hip Hop 80s Wednesday, let's take a moment to appreciate the trailblazing spirit of J.J. Fad and their contribution to the evolution of hip hop.
