Godfather Riddim – Greensleeves Records

Greensleeves Records’ 1999 Godfather Riddim is a compact four-track dancehall set that brings together Chico, Mr. Vegas, Sean Paul, and TOK over one shared cut. The lineup is lean but strong, with Chico’s Pavarotti, Mr. Vegas’ Bed Position, Sean Paul’s Safe Sex, and TOK’s Gra It Up giving the rhythm a mix of attitude, humour, and dancefloor pressure. It’s the kind of late-’90s riddim package Greensleeves did so well, pairing a tight instrumental with a sharp artist selection rather than a long roster. Sean Paul is still the biggest name here, but the whole release feels like a snapshot of a lively era in dancehall when concise various-artist sets carried plenty of weight.
