On the occasion that vacationers in South Beach head for a meal in “the real Miami,” they generally flock to Calle Ocho in Little Havana, home to long-established, world-famous Cuban restaurants like Versailles. Little Haiti, a few miles north, doesn’t attract many tourists but one place in particular has become a magnet for a unique mixture of local Haitians, Miami seafood aficionados and hip-hop celebrities: Chef Creole.

Lately we’ve been starting to wonder if we’ll ever hear something new from Super Cat. It’s been years since the Don Dada has graced the stage, let alone released a new tune. So we were glad to learn about Miami’s Cregis from our friend Addy of Eccentrix Sound. A nephew of Super Cat, Cregis has a bit of his uncle’s style and swagger about him, which he displays on “Dem Nuh Worry We,” a flip of Super Cat’s classic collaboration with Heavy D, alongside another uncle, Jr. Cat. Produced by Crash Dummy Productions, “Dem Nuh Worry We” is from Cregis’ upcoming Eccentrix-hosted mixtape Real Utez Talk Real Tingz. Look out for it soon on LargeUp. com.

The PUSH Artist of the Week, MTV’s initiative to highlight and support new talent in the music industry, recently put its spotlight on Cris Cab, but Large Up has been following the 19-year-old Miami artist for a while now. While Cab’s voice has an emo quality to it, his songs often have a pop reggae vibe not unlike that of his mentor and collaborator, Wyclef. Earlier this year, the pair collaborated on “Rihanna’s Gun,” a smooth response to “Man Down” also featuring Mavado that got our attention definitely took Cab out of any box we might have placed him in.
