Artist Info: Alcapone

Dennis Alcapone (real name Dennis Smith) is one of the original reggae Dee-Jays, a classic performer of extraordinary talent.

Born in Clarendon, Jamaica in 1947, Dennis first started to D.J for the El Paso Hi-Fi in 1969. Influenced by U-Roy, his excellent D.J skills and ability to toast over the tracks made El Paso the leading sound system of the time. U Roy was the first D.J to make records voicing over tracks, but it was Dennis' skill and unique style that challenged U Roy's dominance. [read more...]
