VP Records — независимый карибский лейбл, расположенный в Квинсе, Нью-Йорк. Лейбл известен выпуском музыки известных исполнителей в жанрах регги, дэнсхолл и сока. VP Records имеет офисы в Нью-Йорке, Майами, Лондоне, Кингстоне, Токио, Йоханнесбурге и Рио-де-Жанейро. Кроме того, лейбл представлен в Торонто, Австралии и Новой Зеландии. В середине 1970-х годов The Chins переехали в Нью-Йорк и в 1975 году открыли в Бруклине магазин грампластинок под названием VP Records, где они продавали и распространяли записи. В 1979 году магазин был перенесен в район Ямайка в Квинсе. В 1993 году был основан лейбл после успеха розничного магазина. VP Records зарекомендовал себя как один из первых и крупнейших независимых лейблов, специализирующихся на регги и дэнсхолле, а с ростом популярности звука риддим в начале 2000-х годов лейбл добился мирового успеха с такими артистами, как Шон Пол, благодаря сделкам с Atlantic Records (Warner Music Group) и Virgin Music Canada. Лейблу также часто приписывают увеличение популярности Elephant Man, также известного как «Energy God» или «Ele», благодаря соглашению с Bad Boy Records. VP Records использует слоган «Miles Ahead in Reggae Music», чтобы подчеркнуть, что лейбл можно считать будущим музыки, происходящей из Карибского бассейна. Помимо регги, VP известен также дэнсхоллом, сокой и реггетоном. Лейбл также выпускает серию альбомов Riddim Driven, в которых различные артисты используют один и тот же ритм. The Biggest Reggae One Drop Anthems — это серия CD-компиляций регги, начатая в 2005 году и выпущенная Greensleeves Records. Greensleeves была приобретена VP в 2008 году, и с каталогом Greensleeves, насчитывающим более 12 000 песен, VP стал крупнейшим регги-лейблом и издателем в мире.

The label is often also accredited with having increased the popularity of the now globally recognized Elephant Man, also known as the 'Energy God' or 'Ele', through a deal with Bad Boy Records. VP Records has acquired the slogan "Miles Ahead in Reggae Music" to signify that they could be considered to be the future of music that derives from the Caribbean. In addition to reggae, VP is also known for dancehall, soca, and reggaeton music. VP also releases a series of Riddim Driven albums, which feature various artists tracks using the same rhythm. The Biggest Reggae One Drop Anthems is a series of CD reggae compilations that began in 2005 released by Greensleeves Records; Greensleeves was acquired by VP in 2008, and with Greensleeves' catalogue of over 12,000 songs, VP became the largest reggae label and publisher in the world.

In the mid 1970s, the Chins moved to New York City, setting up a record store in Brooklyn called VP Records in 1975, from which they sold and distributed records. In 1979, they relocated the store to Jamaica, Queens. In 1993, the record label was formed after the success of the retail store. The label established itself as one of the first and largest independent record labels for reggae and dancehall, and with the popularity of the riddim sound of the early 2000s, the label achieved worldwide success for artists such as Sean Paul through the label's deals with Warner Music Group's Atlantic Records and Virgin Music Canada. The label is often also accredited with having increased the popularity of the now globally recognized Elephant Man, also known as the 'Energy God' or 'Ele', through a deal with Bad Boy Records. VP Records has acquired the slogan "Miles Ahead in Reggae Music" to signify that they could be considered to be the future of music that derives from the Caribbean. In addition to reggae, VP is also known for dancehall, soca, and reggaeton music. VP also releases a series of Riddim Driven albums, which feature various artists tracks using the same rhythm. The Biggest Reggae One Drop Anthems is a series of CD reggae compilations that began in 2005 released by Greensleeves Records; Greensleeves was acquired by VP in 2008, and with Greensleeves' catalogue of over 12,000 songs, VP became the largest reggae label and publisher in the world.
