JAMAICAN-BORN producer Kali Ranks has added another star to his universe after recently collaborating with Lauryn Hill on the song Perfect Match.

The single will form part of Tropical House Cruises to Jamaica: The Asian Edition. It also features acts including cricketer-turned-artiste Chris Gayle, Capleton, and Sizzla Kalonji.

“It was the first time meeting Miss Hill and, of course, I was extremely excited to meet her. We met in Battery Studios New York City. She was a very humble lady. We spent hours writing and recording. She had great vibes and her skills were on point, as expected. It was truly a momentous moment in my music career,” the producer, whose given name is Dean Moulton, told the Jamaica Observer.

The project will debut on December 23.

Hailing from Kingston, Kali Ranks also spent some of his younger years in Portmore, St Catherine. He attended Kingston College for one year before migrating to New York.

He has worked with other known artistes such as Canibus, Chris Brown, Rampage from Buster Rhymes’ camp and Onyx.

In the meantime, Kali Ranks says he has high hopes for the song which has two other remixes.

“We knocked out three versions of A Perfect Match in one day, the main version — which we made the dancehall remix — [is] to [be] called The Reprise where she sings a poem written by Drew Dixon, and a poetry recital that goes with the songs,” he informed.

Lauryn Hill, an eight-time Grammy winner, is known for songs such as Killing Me Softly, Nothing Even Matters, To Zion, and I Gotta Find Peace of Mind.

Kali Ranks feels honoured that the single will be part of a collective project.

“The stars involved are ones that I have always looked up to, like Capleton and Sizzla Kalonji and Str8 Kings. To be mentioned with Chris Gayle and such names is just a godsent gift. I’m thankful to Miss Hill and everyone down with the project and behind it,” he said.
