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. 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.

Ras Tafari is Black...
Ras Tafari is Primordial...
Ras Tafari is Ethiopian...
Ras Tafari is Afrikan...
Ras Tafari is Negro...
Ras Tafari is not Neanderthal.
A 'rasta' can be anything & anybody.
Simple science, facts & truth.
Feelings, thoughts & beliefs are irrelevant.

@anwjuice There's nothing wrong with saying you are white & proud but if it is use as a form of oppression against other races that's wrong. If used in creating ideologies (historically and present) that systematically enslave, discriminate and hurt other races (Colonization, Slavery, Jim Crow, Apartheid, First Nations Residential Schools.Systematic racism e.t.c) . Destroy & erase their native cultures & heritage and replace it with themes and teachings that promote self hate within these races (creating generational trauma) for the sole purpose of reinforcing an ideology that whites are superior then there is a lot wrong and racist with that and far different from being "proud".
anwjuice
And since they say whites have so much more privlidge why wouldn't I be proud of that ( fwiw I have no privledge and my white self went to prison sent by a judge a the black man before me had a worse cass, way worse and he was sentenced to probation, is that white privilege?)
Douglas Aswan
We're black because we're blessed differently. We proud! Salute from Nairobi, Kenya.
