VP Records

VP Records is a US-based record company, label, and distributor founded by Vincent "Randy" Chin and his wife Patricia Chin. It is globally recognized as the largest independent reggae label. The Chins moved from Jamaica in 1977 and established their store in the vibrant neighborhood of Queens, New York. With over 25,000 titles under its belt, VP Records acquired Greensleeves Records and was named the Billboard reggae label of the year in 1999. They have also collaborated with major labels like Atlantic Records for licensing deals. VP Music Group, Inc., handles all copyright matters while VP Mastering takes care of the mastering studio operations.

The success of VP Records can be attributed to its strong foundation built by Vincent and Patricia Chin. Their passion for reggae music led them to establish a store that would later evolve into one of the most influential labels in the industry. Today, VP Records continues to promote and distribute exceptional reggae music worldwide.

Lincoln Barrington Minott, known as Sugar Minott, was a Jamaican artist born on May 25, 1956. He started his career in sound systems at a young age and eventually formed his own called Gathering of Youth. In 1969, he joined forces with Tony Tuff and Derrick Howard to create the group the African Brothers. They recorded for various producers and gained popularity with songs like "Lead us Father" and "Mystery of Nature".

In 1974, Sugar Minott collaborated with producer Coxsone Dodd at Studio One and released hits such as "Vanity" and "Mr DC". This led to his first solo album titled "Live Loving". In 1979, he established his own label called Black Roots Music and founded the Youth Promotion Possie. Through this platform, he recorded talented artists like Little John, Triston Palmer, Barry Brown, and Tony Tuff.

Sugar Minott's contribution to reggae music was significant until his unfortunate passing on July 10, 2010 due to heart disease. His unique style influenced many artists within the genre. If you enjoy the sounds of Johnny Osbourne, Al Campbell or Leroy Smart among others from that era then you will definitely appreciate Sugar Minott's musical legacy.
