The late gorilla icon was actually named after a reggae song from 1982.

Last night, Young Thug released his album No, My Name Is JEFFERY, and each song on it is named after one of his “idols.” This being 2016, and Thug being a master troll, of course there’s a song called “Harambe,” named after the beloved gorilla who was killed at the Cincinnati Zoo back in May. The lyrics of the song aren’t literally about Harambe, but they do connect with his legacy by briefly employing some primate wordplay:

Ape shit nigga, Godzilla, nigga, act up

Don’t let your chick go Godzilla, bae, back it up

If you’re looking for a more overt Harambe theme song, check out LA rapper Dumbfounded’s tribute “Harambe,” which uses the gorilla’s death as a metaphor for police brutality:

They tryna take me out like Harambe

I take a tranquilizer on a Monday

While the real ones we lost getting listed in the back

While the fronting motherfuckers get the front page

The world is a zoo, you’ve seen the news

You’ve seen them shoot at the youth

But Harambe’s connection to music goes even deeper. Did you know that the gorilla was actually named after a song? CNN talked to the man who came up with Harambe’s name back in 1999:

It came to me one day while I was on my treadmill listening to some music. A song by Rita Marley, “Harambe,” came on. It was a live performance recording from a Bob Marley Tribute concert in Central Park. Halfway through the song, Marley explained what Harambe means. It’s a Swahaili name meaning working together, pulling together, helping each other, caring, and sharing.

That’s right, Harambe was named after Rita Marley’s 1982 single “Harambe” from the album Harambe (Working Together For Freedom).

African musicians, of course, were the first to use the the Swahili rallying cry for unity —and its variation, “harambee"—in songs, including benga singer Daudi Kabaka’s classic “Harambee, Harambee,” which was used as a national anthem by Kenya’s first president Jomo Kenyatta.

Kenya spread the word all around the world. In 1971, Swedish progressive rock band Harambee released their self-titled debut. In 1972, Trinidadian calypso singer Lord Brynner released an album and song called “Uhuru Harambee.” In 1975, Texas gospel group Soul Liberation released a single called “Come Together—Harambe.” And in 1978, a South African rock band named Harambee released their only album, Giving A Little Away.

In 1990, Brother J from afrocentric hip-hop group X-Clan dropped the H-word on their song “Grand Verbalizer, What Time Is It?”:

I teach a funk code and don’t preach a rap rhyme

Harambe to the sun as the mortals ask time

In 1995, dance music group House 2 House released an upbeat instrumental single called “Harambee” on the Strictly Rhythm label. In 2008, Oakland rapper Paris recorded a spoken word interlude called “Harambe,” and in 2015, Joey Bada$$ released a song called “Save The Children” which features this sample on the hook:

Black republican, black democrats

Black educator, black entertainer

Black, black businessman, black people: Harambee!

Save the children

Whether you’re getting into the spirit of African unity, or paying your respects to the late great primate, it’s clear that “harambe” has a rich musical legacy that will never die.
