Supernatural (aka MC Supernatural) is a rapper known for his skills in freestyling. Hailing from Indiana, "Supernat" moved to NYC and soon became a New Yorker. Through the years, he became a legend in the realm of freestyle emcee battles.

He signed with elektra records and recorded an album titled Natural Disasters. Nat had a falling with the label and he was subsequently dropped, leaving Natural Disasters unreleased until 2000 when it saw limited release (it is currently available via emusic.com). His battles with MC Juice and Craig G, have reached mythical status in the hip-hop world.

The first time he battled Craig G., Craig G. won over the crowd. Using a line that revealed Supernat's origin, and referenced pop culture ("When you go back home to Indiana, get Mike Tyson out the slammer"), he gave Supernatural one of his first major losses of his career.

Supernatural later came back to beat Craig G. on April 23rd, (year?) (Supernat's birthday). Supernatural's story and performances are heavily documented in the documentary film, "Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme" (Palm Pictures) where it shows clips of his and Craig G's battle. It also shows clips from the legendary battle between Supernatural and MC Juice, one of the best freestylers that the Wake Up Show has ever put on their frequency.

Supernatural blows Juice away in two out of the three rounds but in a controversial side of the story which "Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme" does not even speak of, he asks to change the beat in the third round. He then tells the crowd he is being set up and that he is being given wack beats and then asks them to 'follow him out the valley' for a future performance.

He has released 2 albums. His latest is titled, "S.P.I.T. (Spiritual Poetry Ignites Thought)" (Up Above Records), which features Raekwon (of the Wu Tang Clan), B-Real (of Cypress Hill), and Chali 2na (of Jurassic 5).

On August 5, 2006 Supernatural attempted to set a new world record for the longest freestyle whilst hosting the Rock The Bells festival in San Bernardino, CA. Supernatural freestyled for over 9 hours, setting the new Guinness World Record. He is known for his simple, easy to understand rhyming style in which he trades on content for expediency by only rhyming one word per bar. Utilizing this he is able to rap for extended periods of time.
