Anthony Moses Davis (born 22 August 1973), better known by his stage name Beenie Man, is a Grammy award-winning Jamaican reggaedancehall recording artist. He is referred to as the world's "King of Dancehall".
Biography
Davis was born in the Waterhouse district of Kingston in 1973. He was involved in the music industry from a young age, starting toasting at the age of five, and was encouraged by his uncle Sydney Knowles, who played drums for Jimmy Cliff. He won the Tastee Talent contest in 1981, and Radio DJ Barry G introduced him to local sound system operators, who helped to establish the popularity of the young deejay, who became known as Beenie Man. He recorded his debut single, "Too Fancy", with record producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes in 1981, with Lawes also including him on the 1983 album Junjo Presents Two Big Sounds alongside established stars such as Dillinger, Fathead, and Ringo. His debut album, The Invincible Beenie Man: The Ten Year Old DJ Wonder was produced by Bunny Lee and released in 1983, his first hit single following the same year with the Winston Holness-produced "Over the Sea". In 1984 Beenie Man recorded some material with Barrington Levy (released ten years later), but his music career was put on hold while he finished school, and spent time travelling to the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada.
"Girls Dem Sugar" was released September 14, 2000 in the United States as the second single from Davis 2000 studio album Art and Life. The single achieved minor successes on Billboards Hot 100 chart; peaking at #54 and #16 on Billboards Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The single was a success internationally; it peaked at #13 in the United Kingdom.
The 1997 original, entitled "Who Am I (Sim Simma)", was a Jamaican smash, which crossed over into American markets extremely well reaching peaks of #6 on the US BillboardHot Rap Singles charts and #15 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop singles charts. It was a simmering dancehall hit that confirmed the nickname that Beenie Man's father had given the DJ as a child, what with the young boy's winning ways with the little ladies. Years have passed, but Beenie's charms have only grown, and on "Girls Dem Sugar", they flower fully.

Verse 1: I'm brave but I'm shaking I'm near but yet I'm far I don't believe in civilization But yet I still drive a car I'm crippled but I'm walking I'm freed yet I'm barred I don't believe in hard work But still I have a farm Chorus: But look what it all comes down to Ain't goona figure it yet 'Till you have one hand full of ashes And the other hand is putting your soul to rest Verse 2: I'm broke but I'm still spending I'm poor but I'm kind I'm a sinner yet I'm an angel I'm leading but I'm behind I'm dumb but I'm talking I'm seeing yet I'm blind I'm dull but I'm still shinning I'm alive but I can die Chorus Verse 3: I ain't hungry but I'm drinking I hate liquor but I'm drinking wine I'm puzzled to be crowned king I'm the law but I do crime I'm cool but I'm vicious I'm a fool but I'm wise I'm a politician but I'm not voting I guess this is the end of my line Chorus Verse 4 (Bridge): I'm sad but I'm happy I'm not gonna loose my mind It's late but it's so early
Tapping into another of her collaborations, she also “took it to the islands” with “Girls Dem Sugar,” a track she made with dancehall artist Beenie Man.
Popular producer Breadback shed light on Beenie Man's remarkable journey, emphasising that the "Girls Dem Sugar" entertainer has been a prominent figure on the local music scene since the tender age of seven.
The track, produced by DJ Hardwerk, echoes the nostalgia of Mýa's classic hit "Girls Dem Sugar" (2000) with Beenie Man, capturing the contemporary fusion of today's dancehall and pop music.
