Super Cat (born William Maragh in Kingston, Jamaica, 25 June 1963) is a deejay who achieved widespread popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s dancehall movement. His nickname, the "Wild Apache" was given to him by his mentor Early B. He is the elder brother of reggae artist Junior Cat.
His debut album, Si Boops Deh!, was released in the mid-1980s, and included the hit singles "Boops" (which was based on Steely & Clevie's updated "Feel Like Jumping" rhythm and sparked a craze for songs about sugar daddies) and "Cry Fi De Youth", establishing his style of dancehall with conscious lyrics.
