He's also noted for incorporating jungle and hip-hop into his brand of reggae. He gained experience by toasting with U.K. sound systems, which gave him his first chart-topper, "Love Me Sess" (1988). His debut album, Sensimelia Man, appeared the following year. From JA to UK Clash Vol. 3 was released in 1993. Another number one single followed closely after, called "Request the Style." A reggae version and a jungle version of "Push up Yu Lighter" became Top Cat's third number one for the U.K. charts. After forming the 9 Lives label, he hit the top of the charts again with "Over U Body/Rude Boy Remix" and "Wind You up Body." A compilation of his biggest singles, King of the Jungle is available through Ras Records. This past year Top Cat made a big return to the drum and bass stage with the club anthem Everyday produced by the one and only Shy FX. In 2006, Top Cat and Tenor Fly are still consistently burning down dancehalls across the globe as they solidify their legacy in jungle / drum & bass lore. [b] [ www.myspace.com ] Tenor Fly [/b] started DJ-ing on Sir Coxsone Sound with Daddy Fathead General Dan Bikey. Touring all over England seven days a week. Tenor Fly Built up a reputation in dancehall as Coxsone was one of the biggest sounds in England. He recorded his first record called Ruff Neck Fashion which was released on the Side B of a Flourgon record. The tune reached No1 in the Reggae charts and Tenor Flys Ruff Neck Fashion was smashing dancehalls up and down the country. Tenor Fly started picking up momentum so a follow-up tune came on Gappy Dreads label Ghetto Clappers called Inner Citys which reached No:4 in the Reggae charts. At this point Fly met up with Rebel MC in Steppers Wine Bar in Brixton. Rebel wanted to work on a tune and couple of weeks later they recorded The Revolutionary Comin on Strong. This set the foundation for Wickedest sound and then came Tribal Bass with Barrington Levi and Super Cat. Two Worlds opened with Tenor Fly still doing his Reggae works and now he was riding high in the British charts and touring worldwide with Rebel MC-Little T-Barrington Levi and a live band. Tenor Fly then started recording with Fashion Records (Dub Vendors label). Tenor Fly had three Top Tens which further established Tenor Fly as one of the leading UK Reggae MCs. Around this time, Tenor Fly was still featuring in Sir Cosxone Sound alongside Daddy Freddy and Ricky Tuffy. Daddy Freddy and Tenor Fly started taking things to a new level and then Top Cat came on the Sound. Top cat decided to start his own label called Nine Lives Records. With the proceeds from initial recordings, Top Cat voiced Over Your Body on the Mr. Big Stuff Riddim and Tenor Fly recorded Bump and Grind. The two tunes were massive hits with Top Cats Over Your Body going to No:1 and Tenor Flys Bump and Grind to No:2. Two more Top Ten hits followed with Wine up your Body by Top Cat and I get my kicks. This brought them to anotehr level, doing shows all over the world. At the time Tenor Fly and Top Cat were recording for Congo Natty. Then in 1997, he recorded B Boy Stance and had a national Top 20 hit. Tenor Fly has survived right till now recording and touring because of the love and blessings from Jah, as Tenor Fly always gives his heart to the music that he sends to the people and has never sold out. Recently scored a big international hit with Pendulum on the tune "Tarantula" spitting the lyrics "Shotta Hitta" along with Spyda. Not forgetting the success he had with Freestylers Tenor Fly is ready again to take the scene by storm.

Norris brings his big bag of dubs as he drops the riddims for Mr. Cat, and the Mr. Fly showing the world how a true junglist selecta runs the dance. [b] [ www.myspace.com ] Saigons [/b] reputation in the ragga jungle world has continued to grow since his start in 2001. Over the past five years Saigon has made connections with some of the most prominent artists in the game. Working in studio and in Toronto clubs with artists such as Demolition Man, Navigator, Frisky Dan & Million Dan helped paved the way to linking with two of ragga jungles biggest artists.
