LKJ in Dub is an album by the Jamaica-born, British-based dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson, released in 1980 on Island Records. It was produced by Dennis Bovell (credited as Blackbeard). It contains dub versions of tracks from the two previous LKJ albums, Forces of Victory and Bass Culture.
Trouser Press called the album "an interesting and successful example of dub technique."[2] The New York Times compared the album to Bovell's recent I Wah Dub, calling LKJ in Dub "a less gimmicky, more emotionally satisfying piece of work."[3] The Boston Globe wrote that "there are some nice grooves here, but with no voice to sing, no soloing instruments, not even a stray Frippertronic to hang onto, it's hard to recommend this album."[4]
