No Feminist, She’s an Individualist

Ranking Ann , the brilliant militant reggae MC was born Ann Swinton. Ranking Ann came to prominence as part of the Black Rock Posse sound system, playing in & around London. She began her recording career with an uncompromising debut, "Liberated Woman" which is featured here.

Ranking Ann in the Dancehall style with help from Leroy 'Horsemouth' Wallace, Jah Shaka, & Tony Benjamin aided in production by Mad Professor for that Dubby edge. I've got two versions of this one. One from 1991, the Ariwa re-release of their 1982 album. This one from 2003 with two bonus tracks. & as a favor to all I've added a second version of Rough Justice Dub.
