In his usual annual tradition, former US president, Barack Obama has released his 2024 summer playlist featuring 44 songs from various genres.
On his list, this year features songs from two Nigerians, Tems ‘Love Me Jeje’ and Rema’s ‘Yayo’. South Africa’s Tyla also makes the list with the track ‘Jump’ featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
Sharing the playlist on Monday, he wrote;
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. I hope you find something new to listen to!
