Cocoa Tea

Colvin George Scott (born 3 September 1959),[1] better known as Cocoa Tea, is a Jamaican reggae singer and songwriter.

One of his most famous songs is "Rikers Island",[1] which was later turned into a dancehall version by Nardo Ranks titled “Me No Like Rikers Island" (featured on the 1991 Columbia/SME Records compilation Dancehall Reggaespañol) 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 US presidential candidate by the same name.

Cocoa Tea's song "Jah Made Them That Way" from his 1984 album Rocking Dolly interpolates "Human Nature" by Michael Jackson and "Answer Mi Question" by Dillinger.

[citation needed] He initiated the annual New Year's Eve events Dancehall Jam Jam in 2003; It ran until 2009, with plans to resurrect it in 2015.
