Now that he has made his announcement on Ghana Music.com, he is sure to have phone buzzing all day than he can handle. For the past twelve years, Poki Rankin has been living this music life. A lyricist to the core, he has a fan base that stretches far overseas and the funny thing is, he’s never released an official solo album.

Through his ventures, his fan base is incredible and he is lauded as one of the best young rappers around just because of his ‘Anago pidgin’ style.

You won’t hear him bragging about material items that he doesn’t own yet in his rap and he keeps it honest which is a rare quality in the Ghanaian music industry today. He rather delves on issues that are suitable for all ages especially the ‘ghetto’ youth.

Arise & Shine is a 12-song collection of hiplife, hiphop, reggae, zouk and whatever music genre, which Lynne composed all but called on artistes like Yaw Sugar, Oboi David, Akua Amah, Nijah Obofuor to lend a helping hand. Watch Video: Yellow Cici by Poky Rankin

Beyond Poki Rankin’s writing, rapping and singing, Poki Rakin is also producing an orphan project, to ensure that orphans are well looked after. “By the end of the year sponsorship deals will be sealed”, Poki Rankin’s manager said.

The newcomer also had a chance of working with Appietus, Jay Q, Hammer, Oteng, and RoRo who were impressed with his talent.

With his single “Yellow Cici” burning up, he obviously is doing something right and more surprises is expected from him as he has scored A+ on the music sheet with his debut album.
