 Itation Records, which recently minted its hit-making
status with a 2008 Roots Riddim Of The Year award
from United Reggae for its World Go Round riddim is
proud to release its first album featuring Delly Ranx on
September 15th. Good Profile features production from
Buju Banton, John John, Muzik Factor, Chimney
Records as well as Itation's own quality work over 18
dancehall, reggae and dance tracks with Hip Hop and
R&B mixed in for good measure. Guest appearances by
Johnny Osbourne, Chico, Fiona, JR and instrumental
arrangements from Tune In Crew put Good Profile on a
different level among dancehall releases. Two singles,
"Wish Good", and "Ice Cream Love" featuring
foundation dancehall artist, Johnny Osbourne, are
already receiving love everywhere and the latest single,
"Rasta Nah Bow", will burn the flame even higher!
Opening with the hit single, "Wish Good", on Itation's massive one drop World Go Round
Riddim, Delly Ranx sets a cool and conscious tone. Singing to his strengths, a skillful mix of
creative lyrics and tight production, Delly continues a rootsy poetic flow on "Past The Worst".
Good Profile sees Jamaica's top deejay, Buju Banton, contribute a pair of sure fire dance hits
from the other side of the vocal booth. Buju, the producer, and Delly, the vocalist, first team up on
"Murder", a singular song carrying a serious message as well as massive bass and pointed
percussion creating a trigger reaction of unrestrained body whining. And on "Pleasure Pain"
Produced by Delly a bright one drop riddim to play with as Delly sings: just smile when know see
me a come/woman you know you caan done. "Caah Get Me Out" is a straight up dancehall joint
displaying Delly Ranx' unsullied street cred. Versatility, however, is crucial and "Working Class"
adds a creeping orchestral Hip Hop mix with entertaining results. Foundation dancehall artist,
Johnny Osbourne, adds his stamp of approval to "Ice Cream Love"—a unique smash version
of Johnny's original—which has been burning up the charts all over the world on the shoulders of
its heavyweight riddim and Awful Music Productions, Lloyd James Jr. nasty production.
"Lady Of My Dreams", "Virgin Wine" (featuring JR), and "Im Going Crazy" (featuring
Chico) make sure the ladies are satisfied with just the right lyrics and body moving melodies.
Delly takes a spiritual tone on "Rasta Nah Bow", an Itation production with the indisputable
Tune In Crew providing a driving roots riddim that never tires. And the energy doesn't disappear
from track to track as "Do Good" takes a bouncy electro vibe and passes it off to Itation's
Higher Meditation Riddim led by Delly's compelling "Don't Burn The Fields". Nothing can
dull his shine on "Don't Choose", another Tune In/Itation collaboration whose melodic lines ebb
and flow in tandem with Delly's lyrical stream of consciousness. "Hold Me Close" on the Show
Love Riddim brings Fiona into the mix for a passionate "he said, she said" type of moment.
R&B is the order of the day on "Things Friend" whose catchy hooks poke holes in the motives
of pretend friends. Hip Hop vibes on "World Need Love" and dancefloor beats on "Sensi Ride"
complete Good Profile with a little something for everybody. It's a good look for Delly Ranx and
promises to be a great listen for reggae and dance fans everywhere!
