European Reggae Giant Greensleeves has announced the release of its latest Best Of anthology series featuring Roots Dancehall superstar, Sizzla.
The 21 track package will include some his most memorable hits from the mid 90’s to present.
The collectors’ disc will also be packaged with an exclusive DVD featuring interviews, music videos, and loads of previously unseen footage of Sizzla’s infamous Judgement yard compound in August Town, Jamaica.
In addition to the dual disc release, the anthology will include a 12 page booklet loaded with information highlighting his nearly decade long career. Tracks included on this disc span his greatest hits such as “Praise Ye Jah”, “Black Woman & child” “Thank U Mama”, and “Be Strong” to name a few.
Sizzla came unto the scene in the early 90’s and rose to international acclaim in the mid nineties with the classic single “Prasie Ye Jah” . Since then he has consistently released a bevy of hits that have captured the ears and hearts of reggae lovers worldwide.

One quick note. In an attempt to lesson large amounts of waste produced by the festival, we are asking that all of our staff, patrons and performers take the following two measures: One, help cut waste by limiting the amount of plastic bottles brought onto the site. We have some of the best water on the planet available to us there. Please BRING WATER BOTTLES and enjoy on site pure Cascade drinking H2O. Second of all, as far as packaging goes please take it home with you. We are strongly encouraging a "leave no trace" motto. If you pack it in, pack it out. Last year there was a considerable amount of packaging left on site from new camping equipment. Please leave it at home. Thank you for your consideration!
