Demarco – Bruk Pocket

Bruk Pocket finds Demarco in his pocket-tapping, girl-talk mode, riding a dancehall groove that feels made for DJs and short-form replay. The title alone signals the tone: playful, cheeky, and built around the kind of slangy, instantly readable energy that has long been one of his calling cards. It’s the sort of record that lives off cadence as much as concept, with Demarco turning a simple phrase into a hook that can travel fast across the dance.

Demarco has been one of Jamaica’s most durable modern dancehall voices for years, not just as a singer but as a producer and all-round scene fixture. He came up with records that helped define the 2000s and 2010s dancehall era, and he has kept a steady run of solo singles moving through the 2020s, including recent releases that show he still knows how to land a memorable line on top of a clean, club-ready rhythm. That matters here, because Bruk Pocket feels less like a one-off and more like another entry in a catalog built on sharp hooks, streetwise phrasing and easy crowd response.

The NotNice Records link is the right one to make. Andre “NotNice” Thomas has been one of the most reliable names in contemporary Jamaican production, with a history tied to some of the biggest dancehall sounds of the last 15 years. His work has long leaned toward tough, streamlined riddims with a polished edge, the kind that leave plenty of room for an artist to sell attitude. Bruk Pocket sits comfortably in that lane, and 2026 is the right release year for it. The song plays like the kind of Demarco cut that DJs can slide in quickly and fans can catch on first listen: bright, self-assured, and built to move the room.
