President Obama just released his summer music playlists
It's President Obama's last summer in office, and he's shared the tunes he's going to be listening to.
Obama created two Spotify playlists, one for day and one for night, that are his soundtrack to the summer. The list spans from rap to jazz to Manu Chao. One track conspicuously absent is Eminem's "Lose Yourself," which Obama used to hype himself up before his DNC speech this year.
