Delly Ranx is one of the biggest acts in reggae music. Not only does he nod to his predecessors who paved the way for him to succeed, but he revolutionizes the music, and he revolutionizes the role an artist can play in the production of the music. He possesses a universal knowledge, an awareness that allows him to do so, realizing entirely that it is his job as an artist to release an honest product, but also as a Jamaican artist to bring the music front and center. As he says, “reggae music is the best music around,” for it has made some of the most monumental changes, steps towards entering a mainstream market in the past few years. Try listening to “Red Bull and Guinness” without bobbing your head. Delly keeps the beautiful island melodies to relax your mind and updates them with Carribean beats to move your body. It’s all universal. |
