Greensleeves was deep in its rhythm-album run by the time Tattoo Riddim / Marmalade Riddim landed in 2003, and this one sits right in that early-2000s dancehall pocket where the label could still pack a one-riddim set with heavy hitters. The cut that jumps out most is Vybz Kartel’s “Tattoo, ” a sharp, cocky slice of his pre-superstar era, while Elephant Man’s “Fatty Bum Bum” keeps the energy loud and cheeky in the way only he could. You also get Bounty Killer barking on “Hey Yah Yo” and Tanya Stephens bringing a slyer, cooler edge on “Tell Me When U Ready, ” which gives the compilation a nice bit of range without losing its bounce. This was the kind of Greensleeves release that made sense in 2003: compact, club-ready, and stacked with names that were already defining the sound of the moment.
