Jah Cure, or Iyah Cure (born Siccature Alcock on 11 October 1978 in Hanover, Jamaica) was raised in Kingston. He was given the name Jah Cure by Capleton whom he met while growing up in Kingston.

His first big break came in March 1997 when he released the single "King in this Jungle" which was a duet with Sizzla. The single was produced by Beres Hammond who went on to become his mentor. He then released a steady stream of singles that won him critical and popular acclaim.

In November 1998, while driving around Montego Bay, Cure was pulled over by the police and arrested on four charges. He was prosecuted before the Gun Court[1] in April 1999, found guilty and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Since the arrest, Cure has firmly maintained his innocence.

Jah Cure was released from prison on July 28, 2007. His fourth album, Reflections, was released one week later.
