Album Notes & Community Reviews

A masterful dub counterpart to the 'Cool Ruler's' classic vocal tracks, mixed predominantly by the legendary Prince Jammy. 'Slum in Dub' strips down the original roots reggae compositions into dense, atmospheric instrumental soundscapes characterized by heavy bass lines and echoing studio effects.
