  1. 🇯🇲 Linton Kwesi Johnson "Want Fi Goh Rave" - Generic cover – 1981

    Dub poetry at its sharpest merging heavy basslines and echoing rhythms with politically charged words that cut through with intensity and purpose...

  3. Linton Kwesi Johnson, “Sonny’s Lettah”. I lived in Streatham and would catch the tube from Brixton to get to work. I would see the SPG vans regularly. Horrible, horrible policing.

    "Di black petty Booshwah"
    (LKJ. 1980)

  7. Voor weblog Ondergewaardeerde Liedjes schreef ik een stukkie over dichter #LintonKwesiJohnson. Fijne #dubreggae en een goede activistische tekst. Dat kon je wel aan hem over laten. Het nummer Inglan Is A Bitch is post #brexit weer helemaal actueel:
