US-CHINA-DIPLOMACY-OBAMA-XI

Our beloved commander-in-chief couldn’t end his term without an encore. President Obama‘s dropped his 2016 summer playlist, and it’s just as lit as the last one.

“Been waiting to drop this,” he tweeted on Thursday morning. “Summer playlist, the encore. What’s everybody listening to?”

This year’s playlist comes in two parts and includes everything from Prince‘s “U Got The Look” to Chance The Rapper‘s “Acid Rain.” But it wouldn’t be complete without a nod to the Carters — Jay Z‘s “So Ambitious” featuring Pharrell is mixed in there as well.
