VP Records & Greensleeves Records
VP Records and Greensleeves Records have been at the center of reggae and dancehall, helping to preserve the richness of Caribbean music while transporting these sounds to audiences around the world for decades. Founded in London in 1975, and later acquired by VP Records in 2004, Greensleeves championed artists like Yellowman, Sister Nancy, Beenie Man, Shabba Ranks, Barrington Levy, Shaggy, Elephant Man, Vybz Kartel, and more during the rise of dancehall’s global influence. Foundational reggae records, dancehall hits, and everything in between helped shape not only the sound, but the reach and cultural impact of the genre, while defining legendary artists across generations. Okayplayer is proud to partner with these pioneering labels to bring select albums from the VP Records and Greensleeves catalogs to OkayShop, celebrating the music and legacy that continue to influence artists and audiences worldwide.
