Ova Dweet Riddim – Notnice Records

Notnice Records returned to the juggling format in 2016 with Ova Dweet Riddim, a bright, fast-moving dancehall set anchored by Ainsley “Notnice” Morris, one of the key names behind some of modern Jamaica’s cleanest, most radio-ready productions. The riddim lands in the middle of a strong Notnice run and sits comfortably alongside the producer’s work with Popcaan and other Portmore-linked voices, where tight drums and sleek synth lines usually do the heavy lifting.

The riddim runs at a lively 102 BPM and has that sharp, springy bounce that keeps the energy high without sounding cluttered. The instrumental is built for dubplate-friendly spacing: hard kick, crisp snare, bright melodic stabs, and enough room for each artist to ride the pocket differently. Popcaan’s “Ova Dweet” is the obvious centrepiece, a catchy, streetwise anthem that helped define the sound of his 2016 run. Charly Black’s “Call Often” adds a more flirtatious edge, while Vershon’s “7 Days” gives the riddim one of its strongest party cuts. Jafrass brings a rougher, younger energy on “All Night, ” and Chi Ching Ching’s “Puss In Boots” folds his playful delivery into the same jumpy framework.

The rest of the juggling keeps the vibe moving with Geno’s “Party tun up, ” Revla’s “Money, ” and Wasp’s “Haters, ” giving the project a full dancehall spread rather than a one-song vehicle. It is the kind of riddim built for rotation: immediate, tuneful, and tuned for the dance.
