Andrew "Sluggy Ranks" Gregory, a vocalist who rose to popularity within New York City's reggae dancehall community of the 80's and 90's with numerous socially conscious songs, was killed in a car accident on Sunday morning July 29 in the Stony Hill area of Kingston, Jamaica.
The car in which Sluggy Ranks was traveling swerved several times before crashing into a cement light post. Sluggy was taken to Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was only 44 years old.
