Clappers é um rótulo de Nova York que é conhecido principalmente por seus lançamentos de reggae. Mas também tem atraído outros ouvintes devido a algumas de suas inovadoras e controversas lançamentos hiphop. O rótulo é gerido pela Dub Organizer (aka Lister Hewan-Lowe,nascido em 1952, em Halfway Tree, Jamaica) um jamaicano que se mudou para Nova York em 1972. O primeiro lançamento do selo foi do grupo de Nova York Jah Malla ,no álbum ´´Alive and Well´´. Mas também álbuns de General Plough , Jack Ruby , Aston ´´Familyman´´ Barrett, Junior Dan, Nicodemus e os outros foram liberados. O Álbum de Yabby You lançado no rótulo era supostamente um bootleg. Muitos dos lançamentos do rótulo são agora procurados po colecionadores de álbuns de reggae. O rótulo Clappers é considerado ter liberado a primeira música de hip-hop política com Brother D ,´´How We Gonna Make The Black Nation Rise´´. Eles também suscitaram alguma controvérsia com o lançamento de 2 Black 2 Strong/MMG's do EP Burn Baby Burn que mostrava uma bandeira americana queimando no trabalho arte da capa, e também tinha as letras como ´´Foda-se o vermelho, branco e azul´´ nele . As lojas de discos recusaram-se a vender o EP...
