A few months back I had the pleasure of photographing Gappy Ranks – one of the UK’s hottest artists – for his new album, the Peckings-produced “Put The Stereo On” (out 23 August on Greensleeves). The album was initially delayed so I nabbed my favourite photo from the shoot for the cover of his EP, “Rising Out Of The Ghetto” [Above]. Now Tony McDermott (who else?) has finished the album cover, featuring Gappy looking out from the centre of an old-school 7″ sleeve. It also features some of the best UK reggae tunes of recent years – “Heaven In Her Eyes”, “Put The Stereo On” and “Mountain Top”. Maad! If you’re more on a dancehall tip you should pick up the EP, featuring “Stinkin Rich” and “Rising Out Of The Ghetto”.
