Here's a great tribute song to Barack Obama by Jamaican reggae artist Cocoa Tea. The 7" vinyl single came out about a week ago and sold out almost immediately.

Caution: This is a very catchy tune and it will get stuck in your head.

Happy Monday to everyone!

"Barack Obama" by Cocoa Tea

From Wikipedia:

Cocoa Tea (born September 3, 1959 as Calvin George Scott, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae dancehall singer, songwriter, and DJ. He was popular in Jamaica from 1985, but has become successful worldwide only since the 1990s. One of his most famous songs is "Rikers Island", which was later put into a dub version by Nardo Ranks entitled "Me No Like Rikers Island" (featured on Dancehall Reggaespanol) which was released the same year as the original Rikers Island. He gained notoriety in March 2008 after releasing a song titled "Barack Obama" in support of the U.S. Presidential candidate by the same name.
