Album Reviews

Reggae-Vibes:
On July 1, 2003 Mt. Nebo Records launched Iba's full length debut album "Jah Lion (Children of the Nile)", and now there's the singer's highly anticipated sophomore album, "Many Lives". Backed by well arranged fresh original riddims played by Bambϊ Station, Iba -- whose voice and delivery is very distinct -- delivers his ever conscious lyrics in truly fine style. This thoroughly solid album contains a decent amount of songs very worth of hearing. Amongst them are the ode to his Mother and all mothers, "Strongest Woman", the spirited cultural combination tune with Ijah Menelik entitled "Afrika", the beautiful "Jah Teachings", the awesome collaboration with rough-voiced deejay Rafijah, "Babylon Don't Like", and "World Crisis", a song with real stinging lyrics. - More

Reggae Guide:
Many Lives’ is Iba’s (pronounced "Eye-bah") second album release. In 2003 Iba released his debut album ‘Jah Lion (Children of the Nile)’ which generated outstanding reviews and critical acclaim. Now he returns with ‘Many Lives’ which is fresh, original and full of positive vibes. The music is tight, well arranged with original riddims laid down by Bambu Station. Iba’s voice is unmistakable and complements the music extremely well. Lyrically the tunes are conscious and full of positive roots vibes. - More

VI Roots:
Iba returns with an excellent sophomore album very much in the vein of the first - classic Bambu station live roots production, powerful lyrics and soothing vocals & harmonies. The single, "Afrika", featuring Ijah Menelik, is one of the most powerful VI tunes released this year. Many Lives is a poignant expression of word, sound & power that displays Iba's status as a skilled and experienced VI roots music veteran. - More

BigUp Radio:
Iba’s Many Lives , released in 2006 on Mt. Nebo Records is definitely one of last years truly inspiring works out of St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Produced by Bambu Station, this a well composed, collection of tracks with an uplifting, Rastafari driven, serious roots and culture message that is current to the times we livin’ in.
