Super Cat — Don Dada
Introduction:
Born William Anthony Maragh on 25 June 1963 in Kingston, Jamaica, Super Cat — the Wild Apache, the Don Dada — is one of the most important and original figures in the history of dancehall music, and the artist most responsible for building the bridge between Jamaican dancehall and American hip-hop in the early 1990s. Born to an Afro-Jamaican mother and Indo-Jamaican father and raised in the tough Seivright Gardens neighbourhood of Kingston, he was given his Wild Apache nickname by his mentor Early B on the legendary Killamanjaro sound system. His 1985 debut album Si Boops Deh! contained "Boops" — a hit so powerful it spawned hundreds of response records and embedded a new word permanently in Jamaican vocabulary. His 1992 Columbia Records album Don Dada — one of the first dancehall albums on a major American label — featured Heavy D, an early Notorious B.I.G. appearance and Mary J. Blige, and named him The Source magazine's Dancehall Artist of the Year in 1993. He collaborated with Kris Kross, Sugar Ray (number one hit "Fly", 1997), India.Arie ("Video", 2001) and Jadakiss. His legendary Sting 1991 clash with Ninjaman is considered by many analysts the greatest sound clash in Jamaican music history.
Seivright Gardens, Killamanjaro & The Don Dada:
William Maragh grew up in Seivright Gardens — then known as Cockburn Pen — a Kingston neighbourhood that was home to foundational deejays like Prince Jazzbo and U-Roy. He was absorbing their records at local shops from childhood, and assisting the Soul Imperial sound system at Bamboo Lawn club from the age of eight. His career began under the name Cat-A-Rock before he settled on Super Cat. A period of incarceration interrupted his early momentum, but after his release he joined Early B on the Killamanjaro sound system in 1984 — the most competitive sound system arena in Jamaica — and quickly established himself as one of its most exciting voices. Early B renamed him the Wild Apache. His debut album Si Boops Deh! (1985) contained "Boops" — a track set over Steely & Clevie's updated "Feel Like Jumping" rhythm that sparked a national craze for songs about sugar daddies and produced hundreds of responses.
His own Wild Apache Productions label gave him creative independence. The 1988 album Sweets for My Sweet consolidated his position. The 1991 Sting clash with Ninjaman — featuring Cat's electrifying entrance cry "Warning, Warning, Warning! Clear the way, the Apache is coming!" — is still endlessly replayed and debated as the greatest clash ever staged. His Columbia Records move and Don Dada (1992) made history as one of the first dancehall albums on a major label. His work with the Notorious B.I.G. on the "Dolly My Baby" remix (1993) was one of Biggie's first documented collaborations. He has influenced every generation of dancehall since, and his phrase "Don Dada" has been echoed across hundreds of hip-hop records.
