Essential Albums
- X-Tra Naked is a powerful snapshot of Shabba Ranks' reign as a dancehall icon. Bobby "Digital" Dixon provides a good amount of the production, serving up stripped-down, in-your-face attitude on tracks like “Rude Boy". Capturing the early-'90s moment when hip-hop and ragga became willing bedfellows, MCs Queen Latifah and Chubb Rock contribute guest spots, with the former bigging up her "moneymaking Jamaican" on the feel-good, ’80s soul-sampling "What ’Cha Gonna Do?"
