The Rangers

The multi-talented and culturally phenomenal group, The Ranger$, is a high-spirited triple-threat group that was formed in the spring of 2009 in the parking lot of a Taco Bell restaurant in Los Angeles, CA.

Originally started as a dance group and known as the Go-Go Power Rangers (GGPR), front man and founder, Julian Goins, was passionate about forming an all male dance crew that could battle other similar groups for fun.

However, the group’s popularity grew and the GGPR’s gathered together after school to dance in parking lots of high schools and quickly became most popular by posting their self-filmed and edited “Jerk” dance videos on You Tube and MySpace. The five teenaged male crew members never thought they would gain over 800,000 followers in such a short amount of time.

As the “Jerkin” movement swept the streets of Southern California, and continuous postings of their videos grew and dance battles at local venues expanded, the GGPR’s quickly became the #1 Jerk crew in Southern California.

However, dancing alone couldn’t contain this talented crew, and The GGPR’s evolved into a triple-threat hip hop group and renamed themselves, The Ranger$.

The five members, Corey 17; Day Day 15; Julian 17; Langston 15; and Spotlight 15, were all born and raised in Los Angeles and all credit the late and great Michael Jackson as well as singing and dance sensation, Chris Brown as their inspiration and motivation.

Each member brings their own sense of uniqueness to the group. In additional to dancing, Corey and Julian both share the art of creativity with words and music production, and Day Day, Spotlight and Langston love to entertain through acting and rapping. It is the collective diversity of the group that produces great creativity which encompasses the unlimited talent of The Ranger$.

The Jerk movement has become a dance phenomenon that doesn’t only consist of unique leg work to a new sound of music, but it incorporates a lifestyle that features skinny jeans, bright energetic colors, and brings individuality back to the table that exceeds the typical “trendy movement,” and The Ranger$ stand for it all!

Their creativity only starts with dancing. They explore all of their individual talents and bring to the table a fervent and zealous fashion style, extraordinary dancing abilities, explicit writing skills, inimitable rhythmic rapping methods, and a music production style that is clearly all their own when listened to.

And The Ranger$ are just getting started. As their music and love for this culture grows, they too, continue to evolve as five young men with a dream and a passion to take their love for their art of culture and share it with the world.
