Prophetic classic from a dancehall legend.
-
We Say...
Like Buju Banton, dancehall legend Capleton moved from slackness to "conscious" with albums for a US hip-hop major label. More Fire was both a millennial manifesto and an instant classic, an apocalyptic picture of the concrete jungle being consumed by Revelations’ flames, leavened only by a few breathlessly propulsive dancehall anthems. On tracks like "Jah Jah City," "Who Dem?," "Good in Her Clothes," and "Stand Tall," Capleton voice swoops in fiery arcs and dissolves into tortured vibratos over powerful roots and ragga riddims. Objections could be lodged against his gender and sexual politics — sadly, this is nothing new in pop — but the intensity here is unsurpassed.

They Say...
From the very beginning, Capleton issued in a new era of conscious dancehall with his caustic, status quo-challenging lyrics, stirring up flames of controversy with every bellow of his thunderous vocals. More Fire continues the assault on Babylon with a tight package of sizzling beats and thought-provoking poetry. From the scorching riddims on "Danger Zone" to the wicked groove of "Who Dem?," this album guarantees non-stop dancing, as well as spiritual counsel, with tunes such as the anti-violence anthem "Jah Jah City" and "Good in Her Clothes," which offers praise for feminine modesty. On the opening track, "Fire Chant," Capleton explains, "Well, the fire is for purification and how can you fight fire?" If More Fire is any indication, listeners will have to admit defeat.
