Siddy Ranks

Countries: Jamaica

Real name: Cyrenius Green. Born Jamaica. His sound is inevitably compared to that of the late Gregory Isaacs, although he is versatile and sings across the Reggae sub-genres. He also performed under the name of Cyrenius Black which he mainly attributes his Dubstep work. His largest fan base is in Brazil followed by West Africa. Information from Discogs.

The plaque uses the name Siddi but the web consistently has Siddy.
