Johnson's work, allied to the Jamaican "toasting" tradition; which is the act of talking or chanting, usually in a monotone melody, over a rhythm or beat by a DJ, is regarded as an essential precursor of rap.

His poetry involves the recitation of his own verse in Jamaican Patois (Patwa) over dub-reggae, usually written in collaboration with renowned British reggae producer/artist Dennis Bovell.

Johnson wrote for NME, Melody Maker and Black Music in the 1970s.
