Detoxx Riddim – Notnice Records

Detoxx Overview

In 2013, the Detoxx Riddim quickly became a favorite in Jamaica’s sound system culture. This dancehall riddim was built for the yard—its heavy bass, sharp snares, and rolling percussion made it a must-play for selectors at every session. Sound systems loved Detoxx Riddim because it brought the crowd together and kept the dance floor moving from start to finish. Behind this powerful riddim was NOTNICE RECORDS, a label run by producer Ainsley “Notnice” Morris. Notnice is well known in dancehall for producing hits for top artists and for his work with labels like Gaza and his own Notnice Records. His engineering skills shaped Detoxx Riddim’s clean, punchy sound, making sure every vocal and drum hit hard in the dance. The riddim’s strength came from its lineup of artists and their unique songs. Alkaline’s “Enjoy Yuh Life” brought youthful energy and catchy lyrics. Beenie Man delivered his seasoned flow on “My Life Nuh Easy,” while Doza Medicine’s “Bagga Gyal” added a playful, party vibe. Fambo’s “Live Tonight” kept the energy high, and Gappy Ranks gave a UK touch with “It Nuh Easy.” Other standout tracks included Jafrass with “Flaas Boss,” Jahmiel’s “I.D.G.A,” and Merital’s “I Feel To Party.” The collaboration of Jason Brown Ft 12 Gauge, Kratos on “Beat Dem Bad,” and 12 Gauge’s solo cut of the same name, added even more variety. Detoxx Riddim remains a key part of dancehall’s history. Its impact in sound system culture and its strong lineup keep it relevant in the yard and in playlists today.
