	Dub poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The odd love-song or elegy appears, but dub poetry is predominantly concerned with politics and social justice, commonly voiced through a commentary on current events (and in this it does share much with Dancehall and 'Conscious' or 'Roots' [reggae] music).
		Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ)'s album Dread, Beat an' Blood first appeared in 1977 then Oku Onuora's Reflection In Red in 1979 followed by Benjamin Zephaniah's Rasta, and many others in the early 1980s onwards.
		Although the genre had its heyday in the 1980s and 1990s, many of the poets are still active today; many new poets are emerging, and even experimenting with the genre (i.e., the Jamaican dub style over hip-hop beats).

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| Review \| Cutting edge of dub
		Dub poetry was the name given to the new style of verse which reflected a revival of orality in Caribbean poetry, influenced by reggae music.
		Oku Onuora, Mikey Smith, Malachi Smith, Poets-in-Unity, M'bala and Jean Binta Breeze were among the new voices of the movement.
		After Smith and Onuora had recorded their poems, Muta boarded the dub poetry train.
