Hungry Days Riddim – Vikings Production

By 2005, reggae riddims were still carrying that conscious, rootsy pull, and Hungry Days sits right in that pocket with Vikings Production lining up voices that push uplift, pressure, and self-reliance in different ways. Everton Blender’s “Higher Heights” and Jah Mason’s “Time To Save Yourself” carry the spiritual centre of the set, while Chezidek, Turbulence, and Perfect Giddimani add more grit and urgency, all riding a mid-tempo groove with a lean, bass-heavy pulse and the kind of steady one-drop feel that leaves room for the singers to stretch out. The riddim also gets its own version cut, and the 2025 digital reissue keeps the original 13-track running order intact, opening with Black Panther’s “In My World” and closing out with Slikee’s “Illyzyon. ”
