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. -

Reggae
Guide:
Many Lives is Ibas (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. Ibas voice
is unmistakable and complements the music extremely
well. Lyrically the tunes are conscious and full of
positive roots vibes. -

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. -

BigUp Radio:
Ibas 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.
