The name 'Wranglaz Krew' was a spontaneous idea that came to the minds of the three members of the group -Skaboom, Granny Boy and Iyahtola. The name actually came from the Jeep Brand - 'Wrangler' and the brand of Jeans - 'Wrangler Jeans'. However, to make it their own they tweaked and later became 'Wranglaz'. It was also the name of the corner that they hang out on.

Wranglaz Krew have toured Jamaica, performing at Kingston hotspots and were also apart of the line up for last year's 'Fully Loaded'. They have writen all their songs which include 'Some Gyal A Ol' Mummy', recorded with Sly and Robbie, and 'Muss Buss', which have all received airplay. They have also recorded with dancehall artiste/producer Benzly Hype on his newest rhythm called 'The Wash'.

SKABOOM

"Skaboom!" the onomatopoeia* taken from the character 'Guile' in the popular video game 'Street Fighter', is the stage name of this talented Wranglaz Crew member.

'Skaboom', the singer of the group, was born August 24 as Shellec Bennett. He has loved music from 'him eye deh at him knee'. "From the day me born, them think a cry me a cry but a sing me a sing when me mother birth me," he laughed.

Originally from Trench Town, Kingston he spent most of his younger years living in Spanish Town where he left all age School and continued at Jonathan Grant High School. "Killa was my artiste from those times, and is still my artiste now still. And because I'm a singer, I took inspiration from Ghost, cause he was the singer in those times too," said Skaboom of the artists that he learned from.

Skaboom enjoys hanging out at the studio or at home and loves chicken with dumpling, bananas and yam.

*Meaning: a word that imitates the sound it is describing

GRANNY BOY

"Well me is a yout' love my granny very much, you know. Cause everything me do is for my granny. Me love dat name." - Granny Boy

Lloyd Myers, also known as 'Granny Boy' is a Virgo, born September 8. He was born and grew up with his grandmother in the community of Waterhouse. He moved to Seaview Gardens her aged 15 and made friends easily.

For obvious reasons the name 'Granny Boy' was given to him by his peers and has stuck ever since.

Granny Boy, who is one of the deejays in the group, enjoys relaxing at home, eating stew chicken and calalloo.
