by Linton Kwesi Johnson

Bass Culture cover art

Linton Kwesi Johnson's 'Bass Culture' deepened his fusion of dub, political poetry, and Black British social critique. With Dennis Bovell's production and arrangements, the album stands as one of the central works of dub poetry and a major document of late-1970s and early-1980s Britain.
