Forces of Victory

by Linton Kwesi Johnson

Forces of Victory cover art

A profoundly militant, heavily political masterwork of dub poetry detailing the systemic racism and oppression faced by Black Britons in late-70s London. Linton Kwesi Johnson's remarkably passionate, incredibly poetic spoken-word delivery is perfectly backed by Dennis Bovell's thunderous, fiercely rhythmic dub reggae production, resulting in a rebellious, highly conscious classic.
