Most of those artists think that is the only way they could also do to uplift the campaign of the first “Black President” of America. Throughout the world, the first reggae artist to dedicate (as the Rastafarians would say levicate) a song for Barak Obama was a Ghanaian Disc Jockey and Reggae artist know as Blakk Rasta with a single dubbed “Barak Obama”.



The song which started as a joke has for the past months become the toast of many Ghanaians including non reggae and Democrats supporters. Some people might not know or heard of Obama but the continue airplay of the songs both at studios, parties, television, clubs have enable the Presidential hopeful a house hold name in Ghana.

Accordingly, he is not a politician but since the independence of American no Black Man has become the highest leader in the USA, hence this is the time for a change for the turn of an African.



“I did not know about Barak Obama until hearing him and sat down to research about this great youthful personality from Kenya in Africa and he is the best leader the world are waiting for now” he said.
