Sizzla - real name Miguel Orlando Collins - was brought up by devout Rastafarian parents in the August Town district of east Kingston.
Both artists' cultural oriented tunes have drawn notable attention on the Island as well as internationally and have received critical acclaim from reggae connoisseurs all over the world. Being two of the most prolific acts on Jamaica they have made a serious impact with songs that were fueled by righteous passion and contained fierce criticism towards Babylonian wrongdoers. Strongly influenced by the teachings of the Bobo Ashanti elders, Sizzla and Capleton - also known as Kalonji and the Prophet (also King Shango) respectively - have firmly established their names in the forefront of modern reggae and dancehall music since the second half of the nineties. ****CAPLETON - TOE TO TOE VOLUME 3 (WITH SIZZLA)****Īfter matching the likes of Mikey Spice with Garnett Silk and Glen Washington with George Nooks, this third volume of Jet Star's 'Toe 2 Toe' series features the well-respected 'firemen' Sizzla and Capleton in a head to head, toe to toe clash.
