About 15 minutes into his set, immediately after performing 2000’s “Deport Them,” he had to take off his orange Palm Angels track jacket just before jumping into “Temperature” — which gave him an chance to show off all the ice he had on, such as a crazy diamond fang grill. The star also managed to get the NPR employees involved all through his set, with the smaller crowd nailing the get in touch with and response, a quite significant aspect of any dancehall set.
