I Grade Records was founded in St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands during early 2001 by Laurent Tippy Alfred along with partner Kenyatta Itola. The label's primary mission is to produce and release the highest quality roots reggae music emanating from St. Croix and the US Virgin Islands. Since 2001, I Grade has released nineteen albums with several different artists, helping to firmly establish a strong foundation for the flourishing reggae movement on the small island of St. Croix. Look out for the 20th release on the label coming October 13, 2009: Joyful Noise by Various Artists.
