President Obama Releases 28-Song Official Campaign Spotify Playlist

President Obama Releases 28-Song Official Campaign Spotify Playlist

Ever wonder what the president listens to on Air Force One to get amped up before a big rally? What kind of lyrical message would he and his team of strategists use to inspire momentum for their re-election campaign? President Obama has often coyly referenced enjoying certain musical genres during his tenure in office, but has never really offered anything so comprehensive, until now, with the release of his official campaign Spotify playlist. Granted, you won’t find any vintage 90′s era tracks by the Presidents of the United States of America, but you will find an eclectic mix featuring some very current indie bands like Arcade Fire, Florence and the Machine, Wilco, and Ray LaMontagne, a few country tracks from Sugarland and Darius Rucker, and even a few classics by James Taylor, REO Speedwagon and Bruce Springsteen. Noticeably absent from the well-curated playlist was Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “N****s In Paris.” Click here to open the Spotify playlist, and groove along with the Commander-in-Chief himself.

Nico Segal: “Dreamy” featuring Macie Stewart

Nico

“I like to write cause I like to ride trains.”

Nico Segal is best known as the  trumpet player in Kids These Days, but on this forthcoming project Illasoul: Shades of Blue, he steps behind the mic to present his own form of poetry.  The forthcoming album is a great blend of jazz, Hip Hop, and  spoken word, something that Nico has worked on over the years via Louder Than A Bomb as well as his side project, Daskat.  The album was recorded during the fall, mostly at SoundScape Studios.  It is a labor of love, and just another form of expression for the young musician.   The album’s first release, “Dreamy”, features his band mate Macie Stewart, and is somewhat of a manifesto for his love of the spoken word and the written rhyme over soulful production from J. Dilla.  The full project, which will be released via RubyHornet, is an introduction to Nico as a poet and also features appearances from Malcolm Little, Vic Mensa, and Coldhard of Crucial Conflict.

Download “Dreamy” below.  And check back for much more from Nico Segal in the coming weeks.

Kanye and were known to perform “Ni**as in Paris” multiple times in one night during last year’s blockbuster “” tour, and now fans have the opportunity to hit replay as many times as they could possibly want with the release of the video for the smash song.
