This year’s edition of the playlist that lives on Spotify features Kendrick Lamar’s “Die Hard” featuring Blxst, Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul,” Tems’ “Vibes Out,” and Doechii’s “Persuasive.” It also features Lil Yachty’s “Split/Whole Time,” The Internet’s “Under Control,” Vince Staples and DJ Mustard’s “MAGIC,” and much more.
Obama’s playlist shows off his eclectic taste in music and that he is always hip to what’s banging right now, so car rides with the 44th President of the United States are never a bore.
