Which Jamaican singer released the 1992 album 'X-tra Naked'?

The Jamaican singer who released the 1992 album “X-tra Naked” was Shabba Ranks.

“X-tra Naked” was a studio album by Jamaican dancehall musician Shabba Ranks, released by Epic Records in October 1992. Born Rexton Rawlston Fernando Gordon, Shabba Ranks became one of the most prominent international faces of dancehall during the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The album blends dancehall, reggae fusion and ragga, and includes tracks such as “Ting-A-Ling,” “Slow and Sexy” with Johnny Gill, “What’cha Gonna Do?” with Queen Latifah, and “Mr. Loverman” with Chevelle Franklyn. That last song became one of his signature crossover hits, although it is also associated with his “Rough & Ready” releases and later reissues.

A common mix-up is the album’s Grammy year: “X-tra Naked” was released in 1992 but won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album at the 1993 ceremony. Shabba Ranks had already won the same award for “As Raw as Ever” in 1992, making the album part of a notable back-to-back achievement.
