SEAN PAUL

Sean Paul’s success in 2003 is a key part of the VP Records story. Having debuted on VP with Stage One in 2000, the 2003 follow-up, Dutty Rock, on VP/Atlantic, produced some of dancehall’s most successful crossover tracks ever. At the same time, the album was true to the artform’s streetwise spirit and reggae roots. The Christopher Marsden-produced “Diwali” riddim resulted in two other major versions for VP, including Wayne Wonder’s “No Letting Go” and Bounty Killer’s “Sufferah.” “Get Busy” is one of the genre’s few Billboard Hot 100 number one singles, making a lasting impact and helping bring four other songs from the album into the mainstream, including “I’m Still In Love With You” with Sasha, “Gimme The Light,” “Like Glue,” and Beyonce’s “Baby Boy.” Sean Paul had two subsequent releases through VP/Atlantic, The Trinity in 2005 and Tomahawk Technique in 2012.
