Internationally renowned for his hair-trigger wordplay and easy fusion of politically conscious lyrics and bass-driven hooks, ghetto-born Jamaican reggae superstar Nardo Ranks is credited as one of the first dancehall artiste to crossover into the US mainstream. His smash hit single Burrup produced by C. ?Solgie? Hamilton on the Profile Records label (now Arista Records) features the unrivaled and unmistakable rhythm duo of Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.

After reaching the Top 10 charts in US, Jamaica, Japan, Puerto Rico and parts of Europe with Burrup, Ranks followed up with Rikers Island (a duet with Cocoa Tea), True Story, and the number one hit Them a Bleach produced by Sly and Robbie on their Jamaica-based Taxi label.

A duel-threat top hit-maker and potent live performer, Ranks has toured the US, Caribbean, Europe and Asia, sharing the stage with international acclaimed reggae artiste’s such as Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Ninja Man, Wayne Wonder, Shaggy and Sean Paul.
