What makes What I Got by Sublime notable?

'What I Got' became a significant hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and helping to propel the album's sales. The track has remained a defining anthem for the band, representing the fusion of punk and reggae that influenced numerous artists in the years following its release. Released on August 27, 1996, 'What I Got' came during Sublime's rise to fame following their self-titled album in 1996. This album solidified their unique sound and showcased their ability to blend genres seamlessly, just as they were gaining mainstream recognition before the tragic passing of lead singer Bradley Nowell later that year.
