On his album "Godfada", Rankin Scroo pioneered the infusion of dancehall and dub Reggae with rap and hiphop street influences. He has since been perfecting his technique, working with many of today's hot Rap and Hip-hop artists such as E-40, B-Legit, Too Short, and Tha Massie.
"Act A Ass", Rankin's song with E-40 on the "Breaking News" album, has catapulted the Godfada into the mainstream once again, bringing a whole new generation of fans into his circle. Rankin is also featured on the title track, "Breaking News". His song, "Bust Yo S**t" is on the new E-40 album, modestly entitled, "The Best of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow"
Rankin has also hooked up with Mugzi, E-40's brother, on his "Lifestyles of the Disobayish" album. Vallejo's newest artist, Turf Talk, has collaborated with Rankin for his new CD, "The Street Novelist".
Rankin is also featured on the new E-40 release Sick Wid It Umbrella compillation: "Fedi" - "Hoe S**t Lead To Mo Sh**t."
He has also recorded "Freakalistic" with Keak da Sneak and CD projects with Ty Qwan, "the R Kelley of the Bay Area". Rankin is extremely blessed and encouraged to be working n the cutting edge of the Bay Area Rap/hip-hop scene. 'Nuff respect!
