October 2007 - When LKJ started to
chant his in-depth poems over heavy drum and
basslines, the genre of DUB POETRY was
born.
Strong, conscious words form the bulk of Linton
Kwesi Johnson's oeuvre. His poetry will go
straight to the heart of the matter, whatever
angle of downpression and other forms of (social)
injustice the mighty DUB Poet will cover.
In this poem, he calls Inglan for what she is.
Without the backing of the deep, deep DUB
sounds by Dennis Bovell that most people associate
with LKJ's voice, he recites the poem that Babylon
really doesn't want to hear.
