Hailing from Red Hills Road in Kingston, Jamaica, and blessed with a deep raspy, lyrical voice and a soulful exuberance, Fragga Ranks weaves his 30 years of experiences, relationships, life values, hardships and joys into hundreds of songs and rhythms. The underlying message is always one of positivity, hope and upliftment.
