The best DILF in the White House released his summer mix tapes (can he be any more fly?) and they are as we would expect: full of good choices because when you marry Michelle, you have impeccable taste.
Here are all the tracks off each album (he spilt them in two volumes – Day and Night – because he’s lit like that). Plug in your headphones, get a Hibiscus refresher, and enjoy these cool, funky, and groovy tunes!

Are you baked yet?

Sigh. I just KNOW that Michelle and him sing this in the car after a weekend at the cabin.
