Reggae-dancehall recording artist Capleton, who hails from the Islington area of St. Mary, has been a prominent figure in Jamaica’s music industry since the early 1990s. Between 1992 and 1993, he solidified his significance with hits such as “Alms House,” “Music is a Mission,” and the massive hit song “Tour.”

Decades later, King Shango, as he is often called, continues to produce hits! His latest single, “Flying,” is a catchy dancehall tune that, although just released, is already being hailed as ‘a big tune’ by selectors who have received and reviewed the track.

Capleton uses “Flying” to assert his dominance in the dancehall space. With well-crafted lyrics, he shares with listeners the hectic schedule that keeps him in high demand, traveling across the globe to perform in various countries. He further elaborates on the warm reception he receives from his fans and supporters upon arriving in these nations.

“Flying” is in part inspired by real-world experiences, as Capleton is currently on tour in Europe and the United Kingdom. The song can be streamed or downloaded on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, and all other digital music platforms. It is on the Deki Records music label.

One of the ultimate summer events is Rise Up NYC, a vibrant and dynamic concert series that brings the heart and soul of music to the streets of New York City.

On Friday, July 19th, they will present an unforgettable evening at Wingate Park in Brooklyn. It will feature a live set by the king of dancehall himself, Beenie Man, who is known for several hits, including “Who Am I (Sim Simma),” “Tear Off Mi Garment,” “Ole Dawg,” and many more. Joining him is soca superstar Patrice Roberts, known for her high-energy performances and infectious songs like “Mind My Business” and “Into You.”

The night will also feature electrifying sets by Full Blown, Preedy, and legendary selectors Bobby Konders and Jabba of Massive B. This is a free show that will commence at 5pm local time.
