CAPLETON:

Capleton is now at the height of his powers. 1999 and 2000 have brought a ceaseless string of sound system favorite and dancehall chart toppers like the anti-violence anthem "Jah Jah City" and "Good In Her Clothes," a message of respect for the sisters who carry themselves like Empresses.

But even as he completes his mission of upliftment, Capleton has had many critics. And knowing this Capleton addresses many of his songs to the naysayers warning then of the blazing fire that will destroy them. He says "Is not really a physical fire. Is really a spiritual fire, and a wordical fire, and a musical fire. But is people get it on the wrong term. So when a man say "more fire" him think that mean say you fi go light the cane field or go light the church." "Fire is for the purification of earth, anyhow you check it. This earth itself have to even emerge from the literal fire also, which is the volcanic activity, we a talk bout lava. The herb heal, but it¹s still the fire fi burn the herb so the herb coulda heal we also." "Everything is fire. Even human being species there is no life without fire. If you no have certain amount of fire body temperature wise, then you can¹t live. So there is nowhere people should get confuse with the fire. Caw even when you go inna the car and turn on your engine, a peer fire that. You see the meditation. Fire make everything move."

And Capleton¹s earthshaking new album "More Fire" is sure to make the world move to the rolling thunder of a true dancehall prophet.
