The former POTUS Barack Obama has named two Jamaicans to his summer playlist: Skillibeng, and Bob Marley and the Wailers.
“With summer winding down, I wanted to share some songs that I’ve been listening to lately – and it wouldn’t be my playlist if it didn’t include an eclectic mix,” Obama wrote in a post made to his Instagram page on Monday.
“I hope you find something new to listen to!”.
The songs are Skillibeng’s hugely popular collaboration, “Jump,” which he did with South African singing sensation Tyla and the single “Them Belly Full (But We Hungry).
Obama shared his playlist with songs he has been vibing to with his more than 36 million followers.
Among the songs also making the cut this year are H.E.R’s “Process,” Tems’ “Love Me Jeje,” and Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
Each summer, the global entertainment industry looks forward to the former president’s selections. Last year, Toots and the Maytals’ “Funky Kingston” was the only Jamaican single to make the cut.
