Barack Obama Names Masked Wolf On 2021 Summer Playlist
"With so many folks getting together with family and friends, there’s a lot to celebrate this summer."
Masked Wolf has landed on one of Barack Obama's much-lauded playlists
Barack Obama has made no secret about his fandom of Aussie artists and it's become even more apparent with a Sydney rapper making the cut for one of his much-lauded playlists.
The former US President has released his 2021 Summer Playlist at the weekend, including Masked Wolf's global hit single, Astronaut In The Ocean.
"With so many folks getting together with family and friends, there’s a lot to celebrate this summer," said Obama in a post about the playlist.
"Here’s a playlist of songs I’ve been listening to lately — it's a mix of old and new, household names and emerging artists, and a whole lot in between."
Originally released in 2019 and re-released in early 2021, Astronaut In The Ocean has gone on to be a chart hit around the world (landing at #1 in six countries and racking up well over half a billion streams to date).
