Bob Marley – Top Ranking
We couldn’t do a ranking top 5 and not include this tune, Bob’s music speaks for itself.
Althea & Donna – Uptown Top Ranking
A favourite at HDD HQ even if they couldn’t hold a note live Althea and Donna reached number 1 with Uptown Top Ranking and it is still gets forwards today.
Louie Rankin – Typewriter
Some of you may know Louie Rankin from his roles in Shottas and Hype Williams’ Belly, but he is most famous for this tune Typewriter which was released in 1992
Gappy Ranks – Wine Pon Di Edge
London’s Gappy Ranks has been at the forefront of the UK dancehall scene for the last few years, having had huge hits with Stinkin Rich, Heaven in Her Eyes and Put The Stereo On. His latest tune Pon di Edge is also a heater which may just be be one of this year’s carnival anthems.
Shabba Ranks – None A Dem
Shabba surprised us all when he jumped on Di Genius’ Pepper Riddim last year to record one of the best cuts on the riddim. Shabba says it all in the intro – None a dem bad like Shabba Ranking
