Inna Heights

This new album is a close and personal look at Buju's soul, featuring singles like: "Hills and Valleys," "Small Axe," "Love Sponge," and a remake of the classic Toots Hibbert's song "54/56." Artists featured: Beres Hammond, Ras Shiloh, Red Rat, Jahmau and Toots Hibbert. Other tracks include: "Afrikan Pride," "Love Them Bad," "Mother's Cry" and many more!

With the release of 1995's Til Shiloh, reggae's premiere dancehall DJ proved he is as powerful a singer as he is a chanter. A quintessential Jamaican genius, Buju is a nexus of everything about that music culture that awes and frustrates outsiders who fall under its spell. This 21-track follow-up is every bit Shiloh's equal, even an unimaginable step forward. "Our Father in Zion," "Destiny," and "African Pride" swell the heart as full as any of Marley's compositions, while "Redder Than Red," "My Woman Now," and "Love Dem Bad" prove Buju's still dancehall's Mr. Mention. Best of all, Buju reconciles reggae's divided soul, suggesting that the mountaintop Rastaman and the ghetto rude boy are one and the same. --Elena Oumano
