Shabba Ranks
The "Ranks" connotes mastery of microphone skills and styles. The name Shabba Ranks conjures up such images as: a living legend, described as "reggae's Michael Jordan" --a Jamaican ghetto youth turned musical monarch --a strong, intelligent black man with a big booming voice --a two-time Grammy winner (for Best Reggae Album, in 1992 and 1994) --a sex machine for the ladies and a teacher for the youth --the force that broke dancehall style reggae worldwide. A Mi Shabba is: --the latest and greatest of Shabba Ranks' five albums on Epic Records --sure to blow minds and make waists wind --Jamaican patois slang for "I Am Shabba" --a musical adventure--ranging from classic roots reggae to the cutting-edge sounds of raggamuffin hip hop dancehall music--that can only be described as the "nowadays lick."
