Barack Obama’s Favorite 2020 Tracks Includes J Cole, Lil Baby, Wizkid & More

Barack Obama Shares His Favorite 2020 Tracks: Cole, Travis Scott, Wizkid, Tems & More

Barack Obama has been consistently updating us with what’s he’s been listening to, reading, and watching to give us all suggestions on what to check out next on our own lists.

Back in August, the former president shared his summer playlist featuring J. Cole, Drake, Burna Boy, Childish Gambino, PartyNextDoor and more.

Yesterday, he took to Twitter with his list and it’s already starting to generate some debate, as well as trolls. As you can see from the tweet below, Obama’s favorite songs include “Savage (Remix)” by Meg Thee Stallion and Beyonce, “Franchise” by Travis Scott, “The Climb Back” by J. Cole, “Summer 2020” by Jhene Aiko, and “Blue World” by Mac Miller.

The list also includes Afro Pop sensation Wizkid with “Essence” featuring Tems off his latest “Made in Lagos” album.

As President Obama noted in his tweet, his daughter Sasha put him on to a lot of the music here, which makes sense considering a lot of it appeals to a much younger demographic.

Regardless, the former President has quite the ear, and it’s always interesting to see what makes it to his list.

Here are some of my favorite songs of the year. As usual, I had some valuable consultation from our family music guru, Sasha, to put this together. I hope you find a new song or two to listen to. pic.twitter.com/K1NRPYiSg4
