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

5.0 out of 5 stars Inna Heights is the best Buju Banton album to date., July 27, 1999

By	Mark Caldeira "MarkShao5" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

'Til Shiloh was Buju coming of age, maturing in Rastafarianism as well as in writing and performing. But Inna Heights is a whole level above 'Til Shiloh. Buju's writing has greatly developed, becoming more personal, more positive, more intelligent. His vocal performances are more powerful, his singing much stronger, his dj-ing unsurpassed. I've seen Buju live many times, but one I will not forget is at last year's Tamika Reggae Music Awards. He performed Destiny and Close One Yesterday -- with just a piano player for accompanyment. The chills are back just remembering! Inna Heights is most definately the best reggae album -- roots or dancehall -- in the past several years. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and Impeccable Album, May 13, 2003

By A Customer

No doubt this is Buju's best work. "Til Shiloh" is definitely up there, but Buju's words of inspiration and positive vibes are all over this album. Pick it up....you cannot go wrong with this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buju B - The Undisputed King of the Dancehall Scene, September 10, 2002

By	Juggie Singh (South Africa) - See all my reviews

Yes Iya - Big Up to all the massive - Much Respect. 5 Stars isn't enough to rate this artist - I need at least seven.
In this album... Buju's full vocal range gets through tracks that are now classics - My personal favourite "Redder than Red" - one example of his ruff-'n'-tuff-can't-get-enuff dancehall style. My first copy of this CD cracked slightly while I was cleaning it - Now I will definitely be buying another one. Buju - You are the BEST !!!
