Clappers Records was a record label formed by Lister Hewan-Lowe, a former vice president at Island Records in charge of reggae.[1]

The label released music by artists such as Yabby You, General Plow, Jah Malla, Nicodemus and Jack Ruby. Many of the albums from the Clappers label are today sought after by many reggae collectors.

The Clappers label also released the first political hip hop song in 1980 with Brother D's How We Gonna Make the Black Nation Rise? 12".
