Boom! Tune of the Day
Linton Kwesi Johnson "Sonny's Lettah (Anti-Sus Poem)"
I had previously recorded Boom! Tune of the Day daily on Instagram, so I'll be recycling some of those tunes, as well as digging for new ones... enjoy!
Linton Kwesi Johnson "Sonny's Lettah (Anti-Sus Poem)" (Original Boom! Tune of the Day from February 8, 2017)
Today's Boom! Tune of the Day is "Sunny's Lettah (Anti-Sus Poem)" by Linton Kwesi Johnson, from his 1979 Island Records LP, Forces Of Victory.
This one is a statement on the U.K.'s Sus law (equivalent to "Stop & Frisk") and the connection between police brutality, racism and xenophobia by the great dub-poet.
