Great Is H.I.M. EP

Album: Great Is H.I.M. EP

Artiste: Iba Mahr

Label: TAD’s Reocrds

Genre: Reggae

Channelling an eerie vocal delivery reminiscent of a young Jacob Miller, Iba Mahr has been winning over Reggae lovers globally, while maintaining his humility and musical vision. Mahr sits as a student of all his influencers, but escapes predictability in his lyrical prowess.

Great Is H.I.M. EP is laced with enough singles to keep you in a consistent mellow vibe while resisting the urge to replay each track that passes. The featureless project opens with Let Jah Lead The Way; an inquisitive song about liberation.

A bold Mahr echoes, “long time I a talk is like dem nah listen” over a bubbly one-drop production – acting as the perfect buffer for the 8 tracks that would follow. Mahr’s flame pit of bravado and instropective compositions, resulted in an opus that prances between narratives that collide seamlessly.

In essence the EP truly spins as a stepping stone for Iba Mahr amongst the pantheon of Reggae legends that paved the path he’s currently walking.
