Lit: President Obama's 2016 Summer Playlist Features Jay Z, Nas and Wale
For the second year in a row, President Obama has reminded us just how good his taste in music is, taking to Spotify to put together a special summer playlist.
The president’s soundtrack includes the likes of Janelle Monáe, Leon Bridges, Common, Nina Simone, D’Angelo, and has a little Jay Z, Janet Jackson, Nas and Miles Davis thrown into the mix for good measure.
The playlist just might be one of the best collections of music you’ll listen to this summer, showcasing furthermore just how much he’s going to be missed when his final term serving as president comes to an end.
“Been waiting to drop this: summer playlist, the encore,” POTUS’s tweet announcing the playlist reads. “What’s everybody listening to?”
The best part of Obama’s curation? It’s divided up into two focuses, music for the daytime and for the nighttime, further showcasing the prez really knows how to pick a soundtrack for the proper occasion.
