from allmusic.com:
Cocoa Tea (born: Calvin Scott) has been on the cutting edge of reggae for
more than a quarter century. A devoted enthusiast of Rastafarianism since
the age of six, Cocoa Tea has used his soothing vocals to score numerous
dancehall hits for such top ranked producers as Henry "Jump" Lawes, King
Jammy, Bobby "Digital" Dixon and Phillip "Fattis" Burrell. In 1989 and
1990, Cocoa Tea recorded a series of hits ù "Who She Love," "Pirates
Anthem," and "Holding On" ù with a trio that he shared with Home-T and
Sabba Ranks. Although he's been criticized for his non-intellectual
lyrics, which focus on women and dancehall dance styles, Cocoa Tea
continues to attract attention with his Bob Marley & the
Wailers-influenced music. Raised in the fishing village of Rocky point
in Clarendon, Jamaica, Cocoa Tea began his career with several singles
produced by Willie Francis in the mid-'70s. His first hits didn't come,
however, until nearly a decade later, when he teamed with Henry Jump"
Lawes, a producer and owner of the Volcano Sound System. Under Lawes'
supervision, Cocoa Tea recorded such hits as "Sonia" and "Rockin' Dolly."
Switching to King Jammy, in 1985, he recorded such hits as "Tune In" and
"The Marshall." Beginning in 19, Cocoa Tea worked with producer
Augustus "Gussie" Clark's Music Works label. In addition to recording win
a trio with Ome-T and Shabba Ranks, he produced albums for Dennis Brown
and Freddie McGregor. In 1996, Cocoa Tea recorded the hit, "Israel King,"
or Phillip "Fattis" Burrell's label, Xterminator. The following year, he
began a two year stint with Bobby "Digital" Dixon's Digital-B label,
recording the hits "Holy Mount Zion" in 1996 and "I'm Not A King" in 1997.
Cocoa Tea continues to perform with dancehall sound systems including
Jack Ruby's High Power, Gemini, Killimanjaro, Metromedia and Stone Love.
