  • Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff is a convicted American drug trafficker and organized crime figure. McGriff came to prominence in the early 1980s when he formed his own crack distributing organization which he called the Supreme Team based in the South Jamaica section of Queens, New York. Under McGriff’s leadership, the gang’s numbers swelled to the hundreds and came to control the crack-cocaine trade in the Baisley Park Houses, the neighborhood where McGriff was raised. In 1987, McGriff was arrested following a joint state and federal investigation and in 1989 pleaded guilty to engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. He was sentenced to 12 years’ incarceration. McGriff was released from prison on parole in early 1994 after serving approximately seven years of his sentence. He was sent back to prison on parole violations by year's end, and served another 2 1/2 years’ incarceration before being released in 1997. McGriff is alleged to have had a hand in the murder of Run D.M.C. member Jam Master Jay and in the shootings of 50 Cent. Persistent rumors have it that McGriff felt 50 Cent had exposed just a little too much on the drug kingpin of Jamaica, Queens and others involved in the drug trade through the lyrics of his 2000 song "Ghetto Qu'ran". On February 1, 2007 McGriff was convicted of murder-for-hire at a Federal court at the Eastern District of New York on charges he paid $50,000 to have two rivals gunned down in 2001, the hired killers are unknown. The jury deliberated for five days before finding McGriff guilty of murder conspiracy and drug dealing. On February 9, 2007, the same jury sentenced McGriff to life in prison. Throughout this case he was being defended by a court appointed attorney because all of his assets were seized. McGriff is serving his life sentence at the ADX Florence supermax prison in Colorado.
