The correct answer is 'Henry Garfield'
Henry Rollins was born Henry Garfield in Washington, D.C. on February 13, 1961. He played in a number of local hardcore bands as a teenager in Washington including State Of Alert. When his idols, Black Flag came to town he jumped up on stage and sang alongside the band. Soon after, vocalist Dez Cadena moved to guitar and the band invited Garfield (or Rollins) to audition. And the rest, I guess, is history. Since Black Flag's split in 1986 Rollins has been performing spoken word tours across the globe and playing with his band, Rollins Band.

The rap group, which lasted from 1996-1998, contained Nas, Foxy Brown, Cormega, AZ, and Nature. The rock group had Chris Slade, Jimmy Page, and Paul Rodgers; the mid-1980s gave the groups sellout tours, but dismal album sales.
There was a third group that called themselves The Firm which had a 1987 novelty number one hit "Star Trekkin'." Since it was not a supergroup, I did not include them in the question.
