The Sublime track featuring vocals by Gwen Stefani on Robbin’ the Hood was “Saw Red.”
“Saw Red” appeared on Sublime’s second studio album, Robbin’ the Hood, released in 1994. Stefani, the lead singer of No Doubt, contributed guest vocals alongside Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell. The collaboration connected two Long Beach-area bands before either group reached its biggest mainstream success.
The song has a reggae and ska-punk foundation and includes a partial cover of “She’s Mine,” a song associated with Jamaican reggae artist Barrington Levy. Its compact running time and rough, home-recorded character fit the deliberately experimental style of Robbin’ the Hood, an album known for low production values, samples, and spoken-word segments.
Listeners sometimes associate Stefani more strongly with Sublime’s later hit “Doin’ Time,” but she does not provide the defining guest vocal on that track. “Saw Red” is the specific Robbin’ the Hood song tied to her performance.
