Top Cat has been one of the most consistent and successful UK MC's over the past 2 decades. Having caught the MC bug in his early teens when he was on vacation in Jamaica he returned to the UK and was spotted by a local sound in his area called Sledge Hammer who brought in the young TC to MC on their set. Soon after that he made his reputation as the best youth MC in South East London in MC battles, sound clashes and big area dances. He soon got his opportunity to go into the studio and record his first record. His first tune "Love Mi Sess" was a reggae chart number 1 for 6 weeks and he was awarded "Record of the Year" for the track at the Entertainment Enterprise Awards, being presented his award by the legendary Dennis Brown.
Top Cat went on to record for Fashion Records the UK's number one reggae label of the 80's and 90's scoring hits with Gallist, Sess weh u want, Request the Style, Bunn the Sensi, Ruffest Gunark, and many more.
After working with Fashion for a couple of years Top Cat formed his own label 9 Lives Records and went back to working with his original producer for Love Mi Sess, Joe G. The results were a 10 week number 1 with Top Cat's tune Over U Body, and a 2 week number 2 with Tenor Flys Bump & Grine. With the rise of jungle and d&b in the UK in the 90's Top Cats tracks that were reggae hits were just as big in the jungle scene.
Now a legend in his own right, MC of the Year 4 times, 11 no1 records and countless hits, this is Top Cat!

Have you ever wanted to MC? Do you MC already? Have you ever dreamed of being able to MC or Rap as good as the top stars? Unless you have scored hits like the top stars then you aren't as good as them yet. What makes the difference between the good hobby mc, the sound system mc, the mc's who make records but never get big hits and the name brand mc's and rappers who seem to score hits at will? Check out my new book "How To MC" a work book for beginners and experienced alike to find the answers. As a 4 time UK MC of the Year with 11 number 1 singles in the charts I have the experience of achieving the goals of many up and coming mc's and rappers.
