Former US President Barack Obama has included Koffee’s smash hit Toast among his favorite music of 2019.
“From hip-hop to country to The Boss, here are my songs of the year. If you’re looking for something to keep you company on a long drive or help you turn up a workout, I hope there’s a track or two in here that does the trick,” Obama wrote in a tweet to his followers today.
Toast was the only reggae track among the 35 songs included on the list.
