His first single as was entitled 'Mr. Walker' and was a hit in Jamaica. His song 'Boops' came soon after with the release of his debut album ' Si Boops Dey' and was a massive hit that spawned hundreds of responses and cemented him a place in reggae history. He put his name in the history books and knotched a place in US music scene with the album Don Dada. The album featured heavyweights in the Hip Hop arena such as Heavy D and Notorious B.I.G. Songs like Don Dada, Dolly My Baby and Ghetto Red Hot are considered classics. Controversy has always surrounded his career. For example with the death of the popular reggae artist Nitty Gritty, killed in a murky incident in New York City, where Super Cat was accused but denied any involvement. He also had an infamous shooting incident in a Sting stage show performance with then rival Ninjaman.
Super Cat had a number of hit singles in the early 1990s, including "Don Dada" and "Ghetto Red Hot," "Dem No Worry Me" with Heavy D and "Alright" with Kris Kross. These hits made him The Source magazine dancehall artist of the year in 1993. He was also an early collaborator with The Notorious B.I.G., featuring the then unknown artist (along with Mary J. Blige and Puff Daddy) on the B-side remix of "Dolly My Baby" in 1993. The title song, 'Don Dada' was a reply to many jabs made by Ninjaman.
Super Cat was featured on the number one hit "Fly", a 1997 single by Sugar Ray from their platinum album. He collaborated with India Arie on her hit song "Video" in 2001 and with Jadakiss and the Neptunes on "The Don Of Dons" in 2003. Following the death of his long time road manager Fred 'The Thunder' Donner in 2004, Super Cat released a multi-cd tribute album entitled "Reggaematic Diamond All-Stars" that featured contributions from Yami Bolo, Michael Prophet, Linval Thompson, Nadine Sutherland and Sizzla among others.

The song "Them No Care" by Super Cat is a reggae-dancehall tune that speaks to social inequality and other injustices faced by poor people. The opening lyrics, “A big belly gorgon talking / Heavy D, no skylarking / Cause we walk inna di park / Hear weh the man say move wha' the man say / Move, when the man says, move!" suggest that the singer, Super Cat (who refers to himself as "Mr. Cat"), is fed up with being pushed around by those in power. He is joined by Heavy D, one of the most prominent rappers of the 1990s, who adds weight to the song's message. The song also highlights the freedom and joy one can feel by living life on their own terms.
Super Cat further drives home the message of the song by saying that when you have something to lose (like a woman), you don't worry about the small things, like DJ's who don't matter (because you are too busy trying to stay alive). The song's chorus, "Dem nuh worry we", is used to reinforce the idea that the people being oppressed shouldn't let their oppressors dictate their lives, and instead they should focus on their own happiness. The verse, "Change di worthless way of Livin' and think easy-y-y-y-y!" emphasizes that in order to move forward, one must let go of negative ways of thinking.
