Dub poetry is a form of performance poetry of West Indian origin which evolved out of dub music consisting of spoken word over reggae rhythms in Jamaica in the 1970s.Unlike dee jaying (also known as toasting) which also features the use of the spoken word the dub poet’s performance is normally prepared rather than the extemporized chat of the dancehall dee jay.
