Capleton

The dreadlocked Capleton, a raucous dancehall DJ whose early tunes in 1990 and 1991 like 'Bumbo Red' and 'Rough Rider' were as antediluvian with regard to women as Buju Banton's views of gays, had a conversion to consciousness that was almost as Biblical as that later experienced by Buju. He announced he was taking up Rastafari, and worked with the African Star sound system, which specialises in contemporary dancehall rhythms with conscious lyrics. Capleton later became part of Philip 'Fattis' Burrell's Exterminator posse and appeared to have found an artistic soulmate in Sizzla. - ReggaeXplosion
