What is the meaning of "Hotstepper" in Ini Kamoze's song?

In the song Here comes the Hotstepper, sang by Ini Kamoze, is repeated the word "Hotstepper". I have been looking for the meaning of this specific word, but I don't seem to find the exact one in the context.

Most of the times the definition I have found for the word is:

Used to define a person who is very skilled or adept at an activity.

But I also found several times the following definition:

Used in Jamaica to describe a criminal on the run.

Which would fit more, as it is a Jamaican song and the lyrics seem to be closer to this meaning:

Here comes the hotstepper, murderer

I'm the lyrical gangster, murderer

Pick up the crew in-a de area, murderer

Still love you like that, murderer

Can I have any confirm on which meaning is the right one for this song?
