HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Droptop Records
Around 2010, Rowan Melhado otherwise known as Droptop, needed a way to market his clothing Store - Droptop Swag Shop. He started giving Dancehall and Reggae artistes Clarks to wear in their music videos and this lead to a resurgence of the brand locally and internationally as it inspired many hit songs over the past decade.
What happened next was a stroke of genius but also inevitable. Droptop built a strong rapport with all of the top artistes not only because he supplied footwear and made them look good, but because he was full of energy whenever he was at the studio. This was the perfect recipe to start Droptop Records.
The first official Droptop Records release is the Drop Dem riddim featuring 'Day Rave' by Vybz Kartel and 'Anything' by Popcaan amongst others.
Since then Droptop Records has become a powerhouse in Dancehall putting out hit single after hit single with the biggest artistes. Songs like 'Yami Bolo' by Vybz Kartel have all achieved #1 status on various charts. While 2020 was a slow year for most, Droptop pressed the gas even harder with #1 hits like 'No Emotion' by Rygin King and 'Self Protection' by Chronic Law. Both singles appeared on the Solid Heart Riddim which is considered by many to be the biggest Riddim Compilation of the Year.
Droptop Records has become a top Dancehall Label by doing what many are unable to do. Working with artistes from all corners of the genre, the journey has just begun as the label is set to release upcoming singles from regular collaborators such as Popcaan, Vybz Kartel, TeeJay, Chronic Law and Dexta Daps.
