Jah Cure, cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Siccature Alcock, nació el 11 de octubre de 1978 en Hanover, Jamaica. Desde joven, mostró un talento innato para la música, influenciado tanto por los ritmos que caracterizan a la isla como por las experiencias de su vida cotidiana. A los 16 años, se mudó a Kingston, donde comenzaría a forjar su carrera en la escena reggae.
En la capital, Jah Cure tuvo la fortuna de conocer a Beres Hammond, una leyenda del reggae, quien se convirtió en su mentor. Con el respaldo de Hammond, Jah Cure tuvo la oportunidad de grabar sus primeras canciones. Su primer éxito, "King in this Jungle", grabado con Sizzla en 1997, presentó su talento vocal al mundo y lo posicionó como una promesa del reggae.
La carrera de Jah Cure no estuvo exenta de dificultades. En 1999, fue condenado a 15 años de prisión por cargos de robo y violación, aunque siempre ha mantenido su inocencia. Durante su tiempo en prisión, lejos de alejarse de la música, Jah Cure se sumergió más en ella, componiendo y grabando desde su celda.
En 2005, surgió uno de sus más grandes éxitos, "Longing For", que rápidamente se convirtió en un himno de esperanza y resistencia. La canción, grabada en prisión, resonó profundamente en sus fans, quienes veían en su voz un faro de luz en tiempos difíciles.
En 2007, Jah

Beauty And A Thug Song Lyrics
Beauty And A Thug by Jah Cure Jaheim & Mary J. Blige (Still Ghetto)
Mary J. Blige:
So burgundy, the window to his soul
It seems he tapes his eyes closed,
From huffin on, that's what he's puffin on.
His style is rough, he wears his hair in cornrolls,
His jeans hang loose and low
So his di..opps he cain't be comfortable I mean, he's gotta be comfortable.
Jaheim:
Now she's the type that's compared to a rose that grew from the concrete,
So sweet ya know,
From the streets yo.
Now she's the opposite of he,
Have you ever seen a lion sleep on the bossom of a sheep?
It's beautiful.
Yeah thug though.
Both: (chorus)
She's so beautiful and he's a thug,
They're so different yet they're in love.
He's so thugged out and she's so beautiful,
They're so perfect cause they're in love.
Mary J. Blige:
Picture this, his warm velvet voice on a cold winters night,
Sugar free, bitter truth.
Building life from a slang so divine.
Soul to soul, their flesh pressed,
From a firm of onyx tenderness.
He signed his name with a venom kiss,
Upon a heart, I never heard of such bliss.
Jaheim:
Now she's the opposite of he,
Such as a butterfly and he's a killer bee.
Yeah, she becomes a victim to his sting,
And he's amazed by the colors of her wings.
And the life he's led has left him with some scars,
But, she viewed them all as mid-beauty marks.
The moral of the story, plain as can be,
He loved her cause, He is me.
::Chorus:: X2
Da Da-da-da da da da-da-da da
She's beautiful and he's a thug,
Made for each other 'cause they're in love.
She's a petal and he's a thorn,
From a different type of story since they were born.
::Chorus:: x2
