“Babylon So Evil,” Capleton’s collaboration with Stephen Marley and Damian Marley, has reached No. 1 on the Florida Reggae & Dancehall Top 20 Radio Singles Chart.
The track appears on Capleton’s album Heights of Fire, adding another notable radio milestone to the project.
Florida is an important market for reggae and Caribbean music in the U.S., and the No. 1 position gives “Babylon So Evil” a strong showing with reggae and dancehall radio audiences in the state.
The collaboration brings Capleton together with Stephen and Damian Marley, continuing the artists’ long history of working within reggae’s wider musical community.
Capleton’s distinctive delivery gives the track its own character, while the Marley brothers add their respective musical styles to the record.
Capleton shared the chart news on social media, highlighting the song’s latest achievement. The track also fits naturally within Capleton’s long-running musical identity, which has often combined conscious and spiritual themes with the energy of dancehall.
Radio success can vary from market to market, particularly in reggae. A song that performs strongly in Jamaica may not necessarily have the same impact with U.S. radio audiences, making the Florida result a notable milestone for “Babylon So Evil.”
With Heights of Fire now having a No. 1 radio single attached to the project, the result gives Capleton another strong achievement to build on.
The next question is whether “Babylon So Evil” can carry that momentum into additional U.S. markets and wider radio rotation.
What is this writer talking about? This must be AI or BI or CI creating content. This isn’t the first time Capelton has linked up with Damian and Stephen. He’ll, Stephen is a producer and he and Damian have collaborated dozens of times, if not more.
You’re right. The framing was inaccurate Capleton has worked with both Stephen and Damian before. I’ll correct that and refocus the story on the song’s No. 1 position on the Florida Reggae & Dancehall chart. Thanks for flagging it.
