{"product_id":"greatest-hits-130","title":"Greatest Hits","description":"Personnel includes: Shabba Ranks, Chevelle Franklin, Maxi Priest, Cocoa Tea, Home T, Mykal Rose, Johnny Gill, KRS-One, Krystal.\u003cbr\u003eProducers include: Wycliffe \"Steely\" Johnson, Cleveland \"Clevie\" Browne, Sean \"Puffy\" Combs, Jimmy Jam \u0026amp; Terry Lewis, KRS-One.\u003cbr\u003eCompilation producer: Jerry Rappaport.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded between 1991 \u0026amp; 1995. Includes liner notes by Eliana Oumana.\u003cbr\u003eAll tracks have been digitally remastered.\u003cbr\u003eWith one foot planted firmly in Jamaica's tradition of classic toasting (his precursors include U-Roy and Yellowman), and the other in the burgeoning world of American hip hop, Shabba Ranks purveyed a hard-hitting ragga-rap style that came to typify the form known as dancehall. Delivered over deep, bass-thick production, Ranks' provocative, rhythmically infectious delivery struck an international chord. The artist's particularly successful tenure at Epic Records in the early-to-mid-1990s is represented on GREATEST HITS, an impressive and well selected--if not comprehensive--sampler of Shabba's talents.\u003cbr\u003eIncluded here are popular collaborations with other singers, including Maxi Priest (\"Housecall\"), Johnny Gill (\"Slow and Sexy\"), and KRS-One (\"The Jam\"); in addition to pairings with producers and arrangers like Sly Dunbar (\"Shine Eye Gal\"), Sean Combs (\"Rough Life\"), and long-term production partner Bobby \"Digital\" Dixon. \"Trailor Load a Girls\" and \"Wicked in Bed\" show Ranks wielding his renowned sexual braggadocio, while \"Roots and Culture\" proves him capable of tackling social issues. Ultimately, Ranks was a key player in the rise of Jamaican dancehall, and GREATEST HITS is a great overview of his contributions.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45897545548063,"sku":"886977098628","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/30b2104f8fa08f9971e5b85da3268f92_ccf2271e-e3c4-4d03-80d3-d223e31c3cd4.jpg?v=1777725826","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/greatest-hits-130","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
