Jah Cure - Forever

Officially my favourite tune of 2008 (so far!)
Siccature Alcock was born in the parish of Hanover, Jamaica on October 11, 1978 but was raised in Kingston Town. The golden voiced singer became involved with reggae music as a teenager and was given the stage name Jah Cure by Capleton.
In 1997 and only 18 years old, Jah Cure released "King In This Jungle", a duet with Sizzla and produced by Beres Hammond. The single was a pivotal moment for Cure for a couple reasons. Hammond would become the singer's biggest champion while Sizzla was to introduce Cure to the world of the Bobo Dread.
A steady stream of singles - most produced by Hammond - had more and more Jamaicans singing the praises of this new singer, but it all came to a halt in November of 1998. Cure was arrested, prosecuted in April the next year, and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Since the arrest, Cure has been firm that he is innocent.
While Cure was serving his sentence, a groundswell of support amongst reggae fans was getting bigger and bigger, raising the singer's status to folk hero. Compilations like Free Jah Cure and Ghetto Life kept the singer in the charts until his release in 2007.
