Diplo Readies Reggae Compilation Album
Here’s an inspired idea: A label with a vault full of classics teams up with a superstar DJ who knows just how these songs work and what to do with them. XLR8R reports that the reggae giant VP will release Riddimentary: Diplo Selects Greensleeves, a compilation curated and blended by Diplo. According to XLR8R, it will be released on February 8.
Greensleeves, a reggae label that’s released an insane number of great tracks over the past few decades, always evolving to keep pace with an ever-changing genre. (This 2007 label best-of works as a pocket history of the last 30 or so years of reggae.) On Riddimentary, Diplo raids the label’s back catalog, mixing tracks from artists like Gregory Isaacs, Barrington Levy, Prince Jammy, and Eek-A-Mouse.
Check out the tracklist below.
