DEENIE RANKS A.K.A FIRE ELEMENT WAS BORN IN JAMAICA BEFORE HE TRAVELLED TO THE UNITED STATES WHERE HE SPENT A HOT MINUTE, FIRE ELEMENT NOW RESIDES IN THE UK. WHILE IN JAMAICA HE STARTED DJ'ING ON THE DECKS. HE WAS KNOWN, AS A YOUNGSTER, FOR HIS IMMENSE DJ SKILLS AND FOR BEING ABLE TO REMIX SONGS LIKE NO OTHER. AT THIS TIME FIRE ELEMENT, USING THE NAME OF DEENIE RANKS, WAS RECORDING DANCEHALL SONGS AS AN ARTIST AND ALSO HONING HIS ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION SKILLS. AS AN ARTIST DEENIE RANKS RECORDED MANY HIT SONGS, ON MANY RECORD LABELS INCLUDING DISS MY CREW ON THE SWEAT RIDDIM IN 1999, Start It ON THE HOT BLOOD RIDDIM IN 2000, SOME GAL WHICH WAS FEATURED ON "JUST RAGGA 14" IN 1999 TO NAME BUT A FEW. AFTER FIRE ELEMENT MOVED, ALTHOUGH MOMENTARILY, TO AMERICA HE BEGAN TO BECOME INFLUENCED BY HIP-HOP. HE WAS ESPECIALLY DRAWN TO ARTISTS SUCH AS B.I.G, FAT JOE AND SNOOP DOGG, WHO HE FELT COULD RELATE TO HIS STRUGGLE AND HIS MENTALITY. ALTHOUGH HIP-HOP MUSIC WAS ALREADY A BIG PART OF HIS PRIVATE LIFE, IT WAS NOT UNTIL HE MOVED TO ENGLAND THAT HE STARTED TO DRAW UPON HIS LOVE OF HIP-HOP IN HIS OWN PRODUCTION. IT WAS NOT LONG BEFORE FIRE ELEMENT BEGAN TO RECORD CROSSOVER TRACKS ( songs which are neither reggae or rap but a mixture of the two) AND BECAME A WELL KNOWN VOICE WHEN IT CAME TO REMIXES. FIRE ELEMENT FULLY EMBRACED HIS HIP-HOP PERSONALITY WHEN HE DECIDED THAT HE WOULD CONCENTRATE ON BEING A RAPPER INSTEAD OF CONTINUING WITH HIS DANCEHALL CAREER. AS MAY BE EXPECTED, FIRE ELEMENT'S PRODUCTIONS HAVE A DEFINITE REGGAE/DANCEHALL INFLUENCE BUT ARE STILL TRUE TO THE ROOTS OF HIP-HOP. FIRE ELEMENT HAS RELEASED HIS DEBUT MIXTAPE ENTITLED "GREAT BALL OF FIRE" WHICH WAS RECIEVED WITH CRITICAL ACCLAIM AND FAN FRENZY.
