Sublime – 40oz. To Freedom [2 LP, Black Vinyl with Gatefold Jacket]

Sublime – 40oz. To Freedom

’40oz. To Freedom’ is the debut album by the Southern California ska-punk band. Since it’s release, the album has proven to be a seller over time, moving over two million copies in the U.S. alone.

’40oz. To Freedom’s’ sound blended various forms of Jamaican music, including ska (‘Date Rape’), rocksteady (’54-46 That’s My Number’), roots reggae (‘Smoke Two Joints’) and dub (‘Let’s Go Get Stoned’ & ‘D.J.s’) with British and American hardcore punk (‘New Thrash’ & ‘Hope’), and hip hop (as in ‘Live at E’s’).

Sublime themselves credit a number of local reggae and rap bands from California for inspiration in their Thanx Dub. In addition to explicit mentions of artists like KRS-One and Half Pint, Nowell makes copious allusions to others through his lyrics.
