TOUGH TIMES RIDDIM (REMASTERED) – HUNGRY LION RECORDS 2021
Tough Times Overview
Reggae music has a long tradition of foundation rhythms, and in 2021, the Tough Times Riddim continued this legacy. Produced by Hungry Lion Records, this riddim is rooted in classic reggae sounds, with a steady groove and vintage flavor that honors the genre’s past while feeling fresh for today’s listeners. On this strong foundation, several respected artists brought their own style and message. Anthony B, known for his energetic performances and hits like “Raid The Barn,” delivers “Whoa Mama Africa.” His song adds a powerful voice to the riddim, celebrating African roots and unity. Bugle, another well-known Jamaican artist, is featured with “Rope.” Bugle has gained recognition for thoughtful lyrics and songs like “Rasta Party,” and his contribution here keeps that standard high. Iba Mahr, who made a mark with his album “Diamond Sox,” joins with “Awakening.” His smooth, soulful delivery fits perfectly with the riddim’s rootsy feel. Determine, respected for his work in the 1990s and collaborations with artists like Beenie Man, offers “When Will It End,” bringing a message of hope and persistence. Lucky Jobe adds “Ruffa Times,” reflecting on struggles but also resilience. Other artists such as Louie Culture with “Must Touch Road,” Versi with “Praise Jah,” Jah Scripture with “Watch Over Me,” and Victorious Vibrations with “Stiff Neck,” all contribute to the consistent and uplifting flow of the project. Tough Times Riddim stands out as a modern roots reggae collection, keeping the foundation strong and the message positive in 2021.
