DSC_07011 promoter king walker of lionheart promotionsOn Friday, June 1st King Walker of Lion Heart Promotions presented Capelton’s ‘King Of Fire Tour’. Whilst the crowd poured into the venue, they enjoyed early juggling by Valley Man Sound with selector Natty Jeff. Also Soca SoulJah’s and Crazy Love Sound were in attendance so you know there was nuff niceness before the show began.

1 artist futuristicThe show started at 11pm with Futuristic, an artiste from Montego Bay, Jamaica who is based in Virginia. Futuristic held the crowd’s attention with his quick style and comedic antics. He sang tracks on the latest and nicest riddims spun by his DJ, Jerome, and he had the crowd dancing with him. A few times he had to slow down and decipher what he was saying for the Americans in the audience which he did with humor and this was appreciated by the audience. Futuristic also sang a special he had made for Lady Cham off one of his tracks called ‘Vibes’ and this too went over well. Futuristic made a lady blush by serenading her with his lyrics as he sang ‘Love Di Girls’, ‘My Time Is Now’, ‘Supernatural’ and a host of other songs. This was not Futuristic’s first time performing at The Norva but it most certainly was his best performance so far, if he continues to pour his energies into his music he will definitely go far.

DSC_0907After Futuristic exited the stage the Prophecy Band entered and Moses I performed a heated set. He sang about freeing the people from sufferation and a great track called ‘Teach Dem’ and the patrons level of appreciation soared as he performed.

 

DSC_0948After Moses I came Prince Pankhi singing ‘I Jamaica Girl’ and ‘Pressure’. Prince Pankhi blazed through the two songs and left the crowd wanting more!!!

 

DSC_0970The last opening act was Jah Thunder who yelled out ‘more fire’ as he came out and he also gave a great performance. Jah Thunder is a very talented artist who held the patrons in the palm of his hands as he worked the stage.

DSC_1105Next up was the man of the hour; Capelton! There was a sea of lighters in the air upon his entrance, he began to sing before he hit the stage which really made the crowd grow more anxious to see him. He came out and all the ladies screamed. He was dancing back and forth and touching the hands of fans. All eyes were on Capelton as he ran around the stage. He performed Fire Time, Jah Jah City, In Her Heart and a slew of other tracks. The people were jumping up and down as he sang.

DSC_0969The patrons full of energy and excitement as Capelton ran and jumped up high into the air. Though he was burning everything around him, this show was different to his other shows, he didn’t just touch on each track, he sang whole songs and even serenaded the ladies with a few love songs. He was a teacher who should patience, yet he still managed 1 cham and ms kempto blaze a trail wherever he went. The Fireman brought the temperature of The Norva to a blazing flame and as the patrons exited the building, Capelton was backstage still with the MIC singing and teaching. The show ended around 2 am and the show had been a huge success. West Indian Times also had the opportunity to speak to Capelton’s Management Ms. Kemp which was most certainly a pleasure.
