Shabba Ranks: Deep Cuts

Shabba Ranks: Deep Cuts

Shabba Ranks wasn't just the top dancehall artist of the late '80s and early '90s—he was one of the most adventurous. With "Slow and Sexy", he brought the genre closer to R&B, recruiting singer Johnny Gill for a sensuous bedroom jam. On the even more direct "Let's Get It On", he departs from the genre entirely, spitting come-ons over a frenetic UK jungle beat built around warp-speed percussion.
