(Miami, FL --
28, March 2008)
South Florida's premier music and lifestyle
promotions company,
Rocker's Island
Entertainment, in association with
Massive B Sound
System, Inc., and title sponsor
REBEL MIX,
are extremely pleased to announce the addition of
dancehall legend
Super Cat to the line up of
Best Of The Best
2008.
Miami's longest running Memorial Weekend reggae
concert, Best Of The Best 2008 will jump off on
Sunday May 25th
at
Bicentennial Park (1075 Biscayne Blvd.)
in bustling downtown Miami. "We all grew up
listening to Super Cat," says Rocker's Island CEO
Joseph "Budafuco" Louis, "so this is a huge honor
for us to bring him down to Florida for our annual
event." The occasion will be Mr. Cat's first outdoor
park show ever in North America.
Born and raised in the rough and tumble streets of
Cockburn Pen in Kingston, Super Cat aka the Wild
Apache bumrushed the dancehall fraternity of the
mid-1980s with a spree of hits like: "Boops," "Mud
Up," and "Sweet For My Sweet." He was one of the
first Jamaican deejays to bust in the US market and
signed a major label deal with Columbia records in
the early '90s, enjoying success with several smash
hits including "Dem No Worry We," "Don Dada" and
"Dolly My Baby."
Super Cat also helped pioneer the fusion of Hip-Hop
and Reggae and R&B and Reggae, regularly
collaborating with then-rising stars P. Diddy, Heavy
D, Mary J. Blige and Notorious B.I.G. Over the
years, his trademark vocal style and lyrical pattern
have been adopted by many deejays to follow, most
notably multi-platinum Pop artist Sean Paul, who can
credit the Cat as a major influence.
