Capleton buoyed by Khaled collab

AMERICAN rapper/producer DJ Khaled’s latest album, God Did, has topped the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. The 18-song set includes These Streets Know My Name, a collaboration with Skillibeng, Capleton, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, and Sizzla.

In an interview with the Jamaica Observer, Capleton was pleased to be part of a second Billboard-topping album by DJ Khaled.

“Well, di feeling is mutual. Dis is not a new thing for Capleton, but it’s always a joy. Our music is di music that speaks for di less fortunate. It also brings hope to di people,” he said.

The Rastafarian singjay shared how the collaboration came about.

“It’s a natural ting. It’s something dat wasn’t planned. In di past I’ve done collaborations with other American acts like Method Man. It’s just natural,” he said.

Wings of The Morning (remix), a track from Capleton’s 1995 major label debut for Def Jam, was a hit with urban audiences in the United States, peaking at number 79 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 54 on the R&B Hip-Hop Songs chart in November 1995.

These Streets Know My Name is DJ Khaled’s second collaboration with Capleton. The song was recorded in June when he visited Jamaica.

Capleton previously collaborated with DJ Khaled on Where You Come From featuring Buju Banton and Bounty Killer. That song is from DJ Khaled’s 12th studio album, Khaled Khaled, which topped the Billboard 200 Albums Chart last year.

God Did recorded first-week sales of 107,500 equivalent album units in the United States, according to Luminate. It is the fourth number one album for DJ Khaled following Khaled Khaled (93,000), 2017’s Grateful (149,000), and Major Key in 2016 (96,000).

Capleton’s latest song, Hottest Region, is featured on Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica: The Asian Edition, which is set for release in October. He is also working on a new album, his first since 2010’s Iternal Fire, which peaked at number eight on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart.
