CLAN SPRM & COTOLA UNVEIL “BLOOD MOON PROPHECY”: A CROSS-CULTURAL HIP-HOP MOMENT ROOTED IN REALNESS
Montreal, QC – July 07, 2025 – In a game too often dictated by industry validation and fleeting attention spans, Montreal’s Clan Supreme and producer-visionary COTOLA are bypassing the gatekeepers and delivering truth straight to the people. Their upcoming collaborative album Blood Moon Prophecy isn’t just another project—it’s a seismic cultural moment that bridges borders, celebrates independence, and spotlights Montreal’s undeniable fire in hip-hop and Black music.
For over 20 years, Clan Supreme has been the pulse of Montreal’s underground scene—self-funded, self-driven, and unwavering in their mission. They’ve organized landmark shows, opened platforms for artists, sold thousands of records hand-to-hand, and made major cultural impact—all without traditional media support or institutional awards. Their fire has stayed lit through door-to-door campaigns, grassroots events at venues like the Phi Centre, and an unshakable belief that hip-hop is community first.
“We’ve done this without a co-sign. Without a grant. Without a write-up. And we’re still here,” says Clan Supreme. “That’s what makes this project with Cotola so powerful—two independent forces coming together off the strength of good music and mutual respect.”

Cotola: The Sound Architect of the Blood Moon Prophecy
With over 15 years of global influence, Cotola has carved his own path through projects like Agua Negra, the Narco Bolero series, and acclaimed collaborations with Chung, M.A.V., and Obia Le Chef.

Future Forward: Bridging Borders
The launch of Blood Moon Prophecy also signals the beginning of Bridging Borders, a cultural initiative to connect independent artists in Montreal with collaborators and audiences across the U.S., South America, and France. This is more than just music—it’s about building a transnational network for independent Black artists to thrive.

Why This Matters
Clan Supreme and Cotola aren’t just releasing an album—they’re delivering a history lesson, a love letter, and a prophecy. This isn’t about clout. It’s about legacy. And it’s time Montreal hears it loud and clear:
The real is right here. The fire is real. And the future is Black, bold, and independent.
