I love Jamaican music and still had not heard Mavado's tribute (to the tune of "I'm on the Rock" on the Mission Riddim).

If you haven't seen Damian Marley's video on this riddim you must check it:

If you dun know, Damian aka Jr. Gong and Stephen are Bob's sons, Damian being the youngest. Damian carries the banner for the family these days as he channels the spirit of his father like no other amongst his siblings. Mavado is one of the most loved Dancehall artists in Jamaica; though his lyrics deal with street warfare in JA more often than not, his song reflects the hope that people worldwide have in an Obama Presidency.
