Anthony B is the stage name of Keith Blair (born March 31, 1976), a Jamaican musician.
Blair grew up in rural Clarks Town in the northwestern parish of Trelawny. His deeply religious family life (his mother was a Seventh-day Adventist and his grandmother a Revivalist) imbued him with a profound spirituality. During his youth, his favorite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, musicians who strongly influenced his own style.

His deeply religious family life (his mother was a Seventh-day Adventist and his grandmother a Revivalist) imbued him with a profound spirituality. During his youth, his favorite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, musicians who strongly influenced his own style. Peter Tosh's influence can definitely be heard in Anthony B's vocal delivery and revolutionary stance.
Anthony B adopted Rastafarian beliefs as a teenager, a decision which was not well-received by his family. The stubborn and determined Anthony B refused to give up his new religion and his dreadlocks and moved to the home of his aunt and uncle in the Kingston suburb, Portmore.
While attending high school, Anthony B debuted as a deejay for the local sound system, Shaggy Hi-Power. In 1988, he befriended reggae artists such as Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General and Terror Fabulous.
At this point in the reggae industry, singing "slack" songs about women was the popular thing to do. Anthony B did not believe in degrading women and chose to pen politically-slanted songs rather than so-called "gyal chunes." He hooked up with Little Devon the Half Pint sound-a-like singer he made his debut single "The Living is Hard" on the Wizard label in 1993. Anthony B tried many different producers but found that none of them fit his style of music. Finally, Anthony B teamed up with Richard "Bello" Bell, creating hits such as Fire Pon Rome, Raid Di Barn, Rumour, and Repentance Time. Anthony B's 1996 debut album Real Revolutionary was highly acclaimed in the reggae community. In late 1997, Anthony B released Universal Struggle which showed that Anthony B had a consistent, high-calibre talent. Anthony B has released a large number of albums since that time including 1999's Seven Seals and 2004's Untouchable which featured collaborations with artists including Wyclef Jean.
Anthony B tours extensively in Europe and North America and is known for his fiery, high-energy performances.
Anthony B is a member of the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafarian movement. "Bobo Dreads", as they are known, are recognizable by their long robes and turbans. The strong Afrocentric pride and the other Rastafarian beliefs (or "overstandings" as Rastafarians prefer to call them) which Anthony B holds are reflected in his songs.

God Above Everything
Anthony B Lyrics
Nuttin nah gwann fi ya in life, ya pray to God every night...
But nah true ya can feed ya family & wife ya nah remember God...
No remember God...
Woy-woy-ya-woy-woy-ya...
[Chorus]
Mi know ya love ya car & ya bling-bling
But put God above everything
Mi know ya love the levels that ya sell ya end
But put God above everything
Mi know ya love ya woman & the modelling
But put God above everything
Mi know ya love ya ride & ya bling-bling
But put God above everything.
True ya rich and you don't remember
Back in the days ya couldn't find bread & butter
Who was the one to help you out when you ah suffer
Shine HIM light throughout the darkest hour
True ya have everything your life require
You no remember fi go call pon Jah Jah
When you broke your toe dem time ya say a prayer
Hey, but we used to hold it down together, see-it deh..
Money nah mek say be there til the end
Money start mek relationship end
True you get rich ya nah remember Rasta again
Nah remember say God was your only friend.
[Chorus]
HIM put food upon mi table deliverance and give mi energy
Make me stand up in the presence of mi enemy
Walk through the valley of death, nah fear nobody
Fill my mouth with words to deliver properly
Chant fi freedom, chant fi liberty
Fi di poor dem we want better livity
You Mista Big Man see it deh ya cockety
One day you will have to answer to the almighty
Because how we used to hold it down together
Through the good, through bad weather
Though ya flick off Jah love like a bad feather
You seh see time will get redder!
[Chorus]
True ya rich and you don't remember
Back in the days ya couldn't find bread & butter
Who was the one to help you out when you ah suffer
Shine HIM light throughout the darkest hour
True ya have everything your life require
You no remember fi go call pon Jah Jah
When you broke your toe dem time ya say a prayer
Hey, but we used to hold it down together, see-it deh..
Money nah mek say be there til the end
Money start mek relationship end
True you get rich ya nah remember Rasta again
Nah remember say God was your only friend.
[Chorus]
HIM put food upon mi table deliverance and give mi energy
Make me stand up in the presence of mi enemy
Walk through the valley of death, nah fear nobody
Fill my mouth with words to deliver properly
Chant fi freedom, chant fi liberty
Fi di poor dem we want better livity
You Mista Big Man see it deh ya cockety
One day you will have to answer to the almighty
Because how we used to hold it down together
Through the good, through bad weather
Though ya flick off Jah love like a bad feather
You seh see time will get redder!
