Obama took to his Twitter account and said: "Every year, I get excited to share my summer playlist because I learn about so many new artists from your replies—it’s an example of how music really can bring us all together. Here’s what I’ve been listening to this summer. What songs would you add?" The list features 'Die Hard' by Kendrick Lamar.
