In recognition of the “Fire Man” Capleton’s birthday today (April 13 If you’re reading this late), I present to you one of Capleton’s best concerts. Performing at a Justice Sound event in Jacksonville, Florida, Capleton had the crowd eating out of his hands as he burned the fire and delivered an onslaught of hits. Keep the little ones away and loud speakers, lots of profanity here. Since his start in 1989, Capleton has been a household name in Jamaica and the world over promoting consciousness, and upliftment of the people. A legend in the game, not bad for a man coming from St. Mary. Happy Birthday Capleton! Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Tonight on Onstage, Lady Saw shared a few words with Winford Williams. Here she spoke about her “Infidelity” single with Bugle and their experiences (See video below), her performance at Sting 2013 and reasons for regretting it, working with rapper Flo-Rida, stepping away from the music scene for a short while which included going to church overseas, being a victim of internet hackers (Twitter and Facebook), new projects including music with Markus Myrie, and family life. It’s unfortunate that Lady Saw was hacked but I’ll be looking forward to her new material. John John is here to stay. Check out the videos below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Another day, another new Vybz Kartel song is placed on the internet. He along with new So Unique Records artist Keshan, are dealing with relationship woes in “Don’t Lie“. Produced by So Unique Records, we hear Keshan professing her love and loyalty while Vybz is not hearing it and telling her that she can go if she’s no longer feeling the union. What do you think of this and the rate new songs are coming out from a currently incarcerated artist? Check out the song below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Reggae is for the people worldwide and today’s video is no exception. Lucas DiPasquale is a singer who covers popular songs on his Youtube channel and in his latest video he covers Dancehall’s own Popcaan. With the help of a microphone and guitar, Lucas gives us acoustic versions of Popcaan’s hits. Very great effort here as he caught the lyrics that were done in Patois (Jamaican creole) very well. Big ups to Lucas and I hope the right people are hearing him. Check out the video below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Today’s Mixtape comes from the tag team of Equiknoxx Music and Kabaka Pyramid. Titled “Dubplates In Dub“, Kabaka pays tribute to the Jamaican Sound System culture by recording 6 original tracks and freestyles over Channel One instrumentals. Following in the same steps as the “Equiknoxx Introduces Masicka To King Tubby” mixtape, this is sure to bring the new and old generations together. With Kabaka’s lyrical prowess, this is sure to be an “accurate” project. Check out the mixtape below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
