Top Story Riddim (2017) – Notnice Records

By 2017, Notnice Records was still leaning hard into the streamlined juggling style that kept modern dancehall moving in the dance, and Top Story Riddim sits right in that pocket. The set lands as a seven-track package released on April 2, 2017, with Popcaan’s “In Love” giving the riddim its biggest pull while Ce’Cile, Chi Ching Ching, Geno, Jafrass, and Wasp each take a turn across the same choppy, muscle-tight groove. Notnice has long had a gift for keeping his productions lean but pressure-heavy, and this one follows that pattern without getting cluttered. The sequencing keeps the energy steady, moving from the singers and deejays into the instrumental at the end, which makes the whole thing feel like a proper juggling session rather than a random pile-up of tunes.
