RUSTYTUSK Music is proud to announce the third solo album from emcee/producer Jim Brown, aka Rank Nubah (rhymes with bubba).The release of this LP, SLO BURN, boldly illustrates the consistent growth and diversification of Nubah as a solo artist.
Formerly half of the Calgary Hip Hop group, NWNB,(NuwaNuba)

Rank Nubah's "Slo Burn", features fun loving, slicked-out funk and hard kicking beats combined with a smooth, playful flow. Whether spitting party raps or more intellectual fare, Nubah proves he is no amateur on the mic. His album features guest spots from Calgary hip hoppers like Lingo, Vinz and IP, as well as indie musicians like Chris Vail and Jane Vain..Rank Nubah, while producing most of his own material, worked closely with producers such as dj Cosm of Dragon Fli Empire, Lo KeyNote, Infinite P, and dj Are-tis-tik of Intricate Minds.
