Dub of Solomon by Gussie P All Stars is an album that showcases the best of the dub reggae genre. The album features a collection of tracks that are both deeply rooted in the traditional Jamaican sound and also innovative in their approach.

The album opens with the title track, "Dub of Solomon," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track features a heavy bassline, hypnotic rhythms, and echoing vocals that create a haunting atmosphere.

Throughout the album, Gussie P All Stars experiment with different sounds and textures, incorporating elements of jazz and funk into their dub reggae sound. Tracks like "Dub in the Ghetto" and "Dub in the South" showcase the band's versatility and ability to create music that is both danceable and thought-provoking.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dubbing for Freedom," which features a powerful spoken-word performance by the Jamaican poet Linton Kwesi Johnson. Johnson's words are set against a backdrop of swirling dub rhythms and basslines, creating a powerful and emotional listening experience.
