from History of the Caribbeans | Exploring Resilience and Culture · host history experts | Joe & Kevin

Before the world paid attention, Anthony B was already burning Babylon to the ground—lyrically, spiritually, and culturally. In an industry overrun by vanity and compromise, he stood out as a barefoot prophet, a Bobo warrior who turned every stage into a battleground of truth. Why did radio stations ban his biggest song? How did his decision to wear a turban nearly derail his career? And what drives him to keep touring, chanting, and mentoring decades later?This isn’t just a reggae story. It’s a battle hymn. What’s the cost of standing firm in a world that rewards sellouts? And could Anthony B be the last of reggae’s fearless revolutionaries?
