Street Vybz Riddim (2010) – Adidjahiem / Notnice Records

Street Vybz Riddim came out in 2010 on Notnice Records, with Adidjahiem at the helm, and it captures the Portmore Empire in full party mode. The set brings together Merital Family, Popcaan, Shawn Storm and Vybz Kartel, with Kartel handling two cuts, Street Vybz and Pure Love Mi Give Gyal. Up Inna Di Club and Vybz Party help lock in the dancefloor feel, while Pure Love Mi Give Gyal adds a smoother, more melodic angle to the same groove. The release sits right in the middle of Notnice’s busy 2010 run and reflects the label’s close link to Kartel and the Gaza camp, which helped define that era of dancehall.
