Sinsemilla is the third album by Jamaican reggae band Black Uhuru, released in 1980 on the Island Records subsidiary Mango.[4] The album helped the band achieve a global fanbase.[1]

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that the album "delivers a level of consistency only Bob Marley himself had achieved."[7] The Miami New Times wrote that "by 1980's Sinsemilla, Black Uhuru was a paragon of politics, close harmonies, pumping grooves, and a social awareness as astute and incisive as Marley's."[8] Spin deemed Sinsemilla a "classic reggae" album, writing that Sly and Robbie's "trademark synth-drum grooves drove the group's harmonies like a diddling steam turbine."[9]
