Crop Over

This is my second visit to Barbados this year.

I was here in August for Crop Over, and now I'm back.

This time to experience the island through its food, drink, and culture.

I'm here at the invitation of Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. for the Barbados Food and Rum Festival, which runs November 5th through November 8th.

See, enslaved Africans were brought to Barbados against their will to work on sugarcane plantations.

And crop over was born from the relief they felt at the end of the brutal harvest season.

It gets pretty hot in Barbados.

We're going to go to Morocco now, which is in North Africa.

a lock, hit your boss, he got your hook Lock a lock, lift your bumper, lift your rock We're like a lot, picked up a dump, back your lot Like a lot, like a lot, lot Big bad and brawlin' Drop in and then fall in, fall in We walk in till morning Every man in his head can't call it Big bad and brawlin' Drop in and then fall in, fall in We walk in till morning Every man in his head can't call it She walk in the dark, she walk in the foggy She walk in the dark, she walk in the foggy

So that rhythm right there, we're still in the crop over vibes.

And I want to give you another crop over energy just to keep the theme going.

Bruce Lee Almighty Say

stop! Say stop! Trap man, hurdy-hum I watch it there, move on

We've been overseas.

If y'all didn't know, if you've been tuning in, Dez and I have been overseas doing our thing, yeah? So right now, Dez start the show crazy and crazy.

So big up again to all those people that's ever been to Crop Over.

But I ended up in Barbados two or three years ago because I missed my flight to Grenada.

And the day we land in Barbados was actually crop over day.

Oh, wow.

So I ended up on the road from the airport.

We, there's something unique about the Caribbean.

Even our carnivals, you know? All of our carnivals, Barbados has Crop Over.

Yeah.

St. Kitts has Sugar Mas.

I would say she has the internet booming, engagement crazy.

You cannot be online without seeing her video pop up on your phone at some point, especially during crop over recently in Barbados.

Who am I talking about? She's once again a content creator, a mom, a top influencer, a world traveler.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think you know who it is.

He's a very handsome man.

If you live in Barbados, if you live in the 246, once again, there is no way you haven't seen one of his videos pop up on your timeline.

Whether it's talking about crop over, whether it's talking about the circus, whether we're talking about Trinidad and Tobago, ladies and gentlemen, Yomi is in our building.

Hi, guys.
