"The man writes some of the most moving poetry to be found in
popular music."-David Bowie in Vanity Fair
"His observations are the rich fruits of both a lyrical
childhood on a Jamaican farm, and his bottled anger on the streets
of London. During his teenage years in Brixton, Johnson witnessed
serial episodes of racial abuse and joined the Black Panthers
movement in protest. There, he learned his history and culture, but
found his own outlet."-Caroline Frost, BBC Four
