Album Notes & Community Reviews
Collaborating once again with Dennis Bovell's masterful Dub Band, the British-Jamaican poet delivered his most politically incisive and rhythmically complex work to date. The album fiercely addresses systemic racism, the Brixton riots, and the realities of Black British life under Margaret Thatcher. It stands as a profound fusion of militant, conscious lyricism and deeply grooving reggae instrumentation.
