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.
