    Don’t see too much Sublime, thanks for sharing!


    Boss DJ is a song written by Brad Nowell appearing on Sublime’s second album ‘Robbin The Hood’ (1994) about himself. Brad’s lyrics and writing often contained samples, lyrics and references to other artists and Brad fused whole songs together by writing them in to a new one like a new type of DJ. No others instruments usually feature in boss DJ other than Brad’s voice and acoustic guitar.

    Two reggae songs that Bradley referenced for this song are “Do It Twice” by Bob Marley and “Roots Rocking” by Aswad.

      Thanks for adding some context; I always appreciate these. I wasn’t sure if anyone was going to get the Roots Rocking reference ;)
