Description


Last year saw The Last Poets celebrate their 50-year anniversary with the righteous, politically-charged poetic record, Understand What Black Is. Now to continue the party, Brighton production-maestro Prince Fatty has reworked the album with a fresh twist and blend of smooth, dub-delights. The revolution marches on - this is Understand What Dub Is.

Prince Fatty's ever-reliable work gives Understand What Black Is another lease of life as he maintains an undeniably slick groove throughout. Both therapeutic and warm, the soulful rhythms of Understand What Dub Is provide the perfect platform for The Last Poets to delve into everything from Trump's inauguration, nods to Biggie Smalls and respect to Prince. The calm, collective and downright thought-provoking words go hand-in-hand with the roots-driven reggae medleys with ease - this is dub in its rawest form.
