40 Oz. to Freedom is the 1992 debut ska punk album by the Southern California rock band Sublime. 40 Oz. to Freedom received mixed critical reviews upon its first release, but is now generally considered a sincere and brilliant record. 40 Oz. to Freedom is one of the most popular albums released in the Third Wave of Ska Revival.
Its sound blended various forms of Jamaican music, including ska ("40 Oz To Freedom"), rocksteady ("5446-That's My Number", cover of Toots & the Maytals), roots reggae ("Smoke Two Joints", a cover of The Toyes) and dub ("Let's Go Get Stoned", "D.J.s") with British and American hardcore punk ("New Thrash"), hip hop ("D.J.s") and folk music ("Rivers Of Babylon" a Melodians cover, "Scarlet Begonias", a Grateful Dead cover).
