One of the senator's longtime vocal supporters, Jay-Z, has scheduled two free shows this weekend in Detroit and Miami in support of the Obama campaign.
The first, which takes place at in Detroit on Saturday, will promote voter registration and encourage attendees to get involved in the Obama campaign, according to Detroit's WWJ TV.
