Jamaican label Drop Top Records is excited to start the year strong with new releases with Jamaican Dancehall artistes.
The newly minted record label headed by CEO Rowan Melhado, known as Drop Top, began recording in 2019 with the first project called the Drop Dem Riddim.
The compilation featured artistes like Sikka Rymes, Popcaan, Chronic Law and Vybz Kartel with his mega hit ‘Day Rave.’

Originally the Spanish Town St Catharine native never thought of himself as a career producer and was focused on promoting his ‘Swag Shop’ Clarks shoe store in Kingston Jamaica with the Drop Dem riddim.
The success of the singles and corresponding videos from the project however made the London based businessman change gears and catapult the label to a sought after brand for 2020.
“I’ve always been connected to music and grew up around artistes like Vybz Kartel, but never really thought of myself as a producer, until the Drop Dem Riddin became a hit. This confirmed that I really had an ear for hit records so now I’m releasing many more singles and we aren’t slowing down anytime soon,’ Drop Top explained.

Last year the label released trending singles with Vybz Kartel, Chronic Law, Popcaan, Daddy1, RDX, Quada, Tommy Lee, Dexta Daps and others.
The label also signed the first artist under a management deal with Magnum Kings and Queens’s contestant Candy Price.
“I’m a lover of dancehall and reggae music and right now I believe the females in Dancehall need the strength. I’m investing in our culture with the talented young female Candy Price, so far we have recorded a few singles and we are building her catalog.” Drop Top added.
