Listen to President Barack Obama's Summer Playlists

As of today, the White House has officially joined Spotify and their inaugural playlist was hand-picked by none other than leader of the free world himself, President Barack Obama. Apparently, when the President was asked to pick a few of his favorite songs for the summer, he picked up his pen, got real serious and dropped not one, but two summer playlists: one for the day time, and one for the night time vibes. Both lists showcase a vast selection of music from all genres, from Nina Simone to Talib Kweli, to the Rolling Stones and even some Justin Timberlake.
