Dinner Time Riddim – Wicked Vybz

Dinner Time Riddim came out in 2018 from Wicked Vybz, and it sits comfortably in the roots-and-culture pocket rather than the harder dancehall end of the spectrum. The rhythm has a warm, mid-tempo sway, with enough bounce for juggling but enough restraint to let the singers stretch out their messages. It runs with that classic one-riddim feel: familiar bass pressure, clean drum programming, and a laid-back groove that leaves space for voices to carry the tune.

The project pulls in a strong cross-section of conscious reggae names. Perfect Giddimani opens with “Dinner Time” and returns alongside Da Real Storm for “Aayah (Come Togehter), ” while Lutan Fyah’s “Where Is The Culture” and Sizzla’s “Reggae Music” keep the set firmly in roots territory. Anthony B’s “Hail H. I. M, ” Exco Levi’s “Frozen World, ” and Don Minott’s “I Am Reggae” give the riddim its biggest veteran weight, while Bobby Hustle, Teflon, Capital D, Andi Ites, Greg Roy, and Rsny add variety without breaking the mood.

What makes the riddim work is the way it balances preaching and melody. Lutan Fyah brings the kind of cultural critique he has long been known for, Sizzla rides the groove with a straight reggae statement, and Anthony B turns in the devotional energy he has built a career on. The result is a sturdy 2018 compilation that feels aimed at reggae listeners who still want lyrics with substance and a riddim that can carry multiple strong voices without losing its shape.
