After watching the terrible impact of hurricane Beryl as well as the antics of some Jamaicans, reggae/dancehall artiste Anthony B, out of a sense of "fear and caution," composed a song titled ' Bad Beryl' . The song, which detailed his observation of the category four hurricane's impact on Jamaica, starts out with praises to the " Father for blessing this land " but also underscored that if Jamaicans had taken the warnings more seriously, the effects would have been less devastating. "Mi see how di storm just mek a turn affa di country and mi watch how it a manifest and a seh we should be giving thanks and be joyful because if dis category five storm did travel pon di road weh it a travel pon, wi would be talking about a different Jamaica right now.
Jah know, people don't even see di force weh a work fi keep wi safe. When mi look pon YouTube, mi see everybody jus a laugh and a dance mi seh dis come in like a [scripture] from di Bible. Chaos a gwaan and is like di worl a end and man jus a laugh and a drink and a party," he said with a hiss.
"Dis kinda reality mek mi seh yuh know mi affi sing supm bout dis," the Chill Out artiste told THE STAR . He continued, "Suh mi write the song from an awareness point because dat don't deh inna wi as Jamaicans. Our first [reaction] is 'A lie man - no storm naah come.
' Mi naah seh wi can't have a sense of humour, but we cya tek everything fi joke" he said while expressing sympathy to those affected. The singer said the Bad Beryl single, whic.
