Award winning Dancehall and Reggae artist Busy Signal released his conversation provoking music video “What If,” setting worldwide fans ablaze with comments on social media.

“I’m making many statements within the 2 minutes and 44 seconds of the song” said Busy. “Fans are given the chance to ponder the deeper meaning and express their thoughts on social media. So far the feedback has been positive. I love my fans.”

Twitter user @terri_terriann says “love this song. Sometimes you need to stop and think before reacting.” Another user @gichstarbwoy quoted a lyric from “What If” then said “what if you never wake this morning … give thanks for life” while @therealjahdidi makes it clear that the massive in Kenya approve Busy’s new chune.

Released on the artists own Turf Music label, the video was directed by Dameon Gayle and Benjamin Lidsky who collaborated on the treatment of the video.
