- <p> Musicmaker Shabba Ranks traces his nom de tune to an
- African King--yet these days it is hard to associate the name
- Shabba with anyone but the reigning monarch of reggae. Recording
- since he was 14, Shabba snared a prize that eluded even Jamaican
- demigod Bob Marley: the Grammy, a rare nod to innovation from
- an industry that prefers the safe but honorable (Natalie Cole)
- or the merely safe (Michael Bolton). "My type of work is...energetic, you know? When you dance to my music, you get dizzy,
- get crazy," says Shabba, in the potent patois that chants
- through the winning As Raw as Ever. In his next album, due in
- April, Shabba promises "sweeter music."
