Blessed with a gruff, gravelly voice and a gift for rousing lyrics, Capleton emerged as a fiery prophet of conscious reggae. Born Clifton George Bailey III in rural Islington, Jamaica, in 1967, he started out singing risquĆ© songs like āBumbo Red,ā but by the early ā90s, he had converted to Rastafarianism, trading risquĆ© lyrics for spiritual uplift. On albums like 1993ās Alms House and 1995ās Def Jam-issued Prophecyāa key record for the eraās reggae/hip-hop crossoverāhe favored minimalist dancehall riddims. But by 2000ās More Fire, a career highlight, Capleton had embraced the more soulful sounds of roots reggae. That his catalog is full of references to fire (2002ās Still Blazin, 2004ās Reign of Fire, 2010ās I-Ternal Fire) is a testament to his belief in the endless potential for self-purification. As he sings in 2007ās āJah Jah Livesā: āRighteousness I will always preach.ā
