Straight Up Records was founded in Kingston Jamaica in 2018 by Ben Young aka Str8 Up. It grew out of Str8 Up's reggae project STR8WYZ with original collaborator Wiser Dhon, hence the name STR8WYZ (Str8 + Wyz). Our first two singles Girl Named Pat and Girl Named Pat feat. Big Youth were recorded at Tuff Gong studios in Kingston. Tuff Gong immediately offered us a distribution deal upon hearing the quality of our tunes and they've been our distributor ever since. We've gone from strength to strength releasing tracks by some of the top names in Reggae including Sly & Robbie, Scientist & Big Youth to name but a few. The label subsequently branched out by signing Oakland California based alt-rocker YANG, releasing 22 of his singles and EPs to date. We remain committed to expanding our repertoire and signing new artists. Feel free to submit demos or release-ready material via our contact page. Bear in mind we mainly deal with reggae, alternative rock & punk rock but we're open to electronica and assorted indie. Here's our instagram too...
