It Nuh Work Suh Riddim (2012) – Young Velli Re-Do Of Notnice Riddim

This one has that grim, clipped modern-dancehall pulse that used to cut through every sound system in 2012, all sharp snares and nagging bass, and it lands as Young Velli’s re-do of Notnice’s earlier It Nuh Work Suh idea rather than a straight copy. The original version was tied to Notnice Productions and carried names like Popcaan, Vybz Kartel and Blak Ryno, so hearing Young Velli revisit that space gives the riddim a second-life feel, like he’s trying to push the same tension into a new lane. The title says plenty on its own: stubborn, defiant, a little hostile. If you know the Kartel cut “On And On, ” that’s the thread that keeps pulling back to the centre of it, even here, in this 2012 rework, and that little aftershock still lingers.
