Intoxxicated Riddim – Troyton Music

Troyton Music’s Intoxxicated Riddim landed in 2015 as another strong juggling set from the Kingston producer who had already earned his name through commercial dancehall and crossover-ready reggae work. Troy “Troyton” Hinds had been running under the Troyton Music banner since the early 2010s, and by then his catalogue already had serious weight behind it. Intoxxicated sits right in that lane: polished, radio-friendly, but still aimed squarely at dancehall selectors and street listeners.

The riddim has a clean, melodic pulse with enough bounce to carry both singjay hooks and straight-to-the-point dancehall talk. It is the kind of cut that leaves space for the voice while keeping the drums and bass moving with purpose. The strongest songs here are the ones that play off that contrast. Dexta Daps’ “7Eleven” turned into one of the project’s biggest talking points, with its sly, catchy framing and his loose, expressive delivery. Christopher Martin’s “I’m A Big Deal” and “I Can See” lean into his smooth, melodic approach, giving the riddim a more polished, radio-ready edge. Bugle’s “Nuh Like Da Style Deh” adds a sharper, more grounded tone, while I-Octane’s “Hurt By Friends” pulls the project into more reflective territory. Tarrus Riley’s “Herbs (Sensimena)” gives the set a rootsier, conscious finish. Charly Black’s “Tyad Fi See Me” and the G and Blakk Man combination on “So Me Set” add extra movement to a juggling that already had a strong enough foundation to travel.

What made Intoxxicated memorable was the balance: enough heat for dancehall sessions, enough melody for wider rotation, and enough artist identity on each cut to keep the riddim from blurring into one long version.
