In addition to meeting with rappers like Master P., Jay-Z & Beyonce, Ludacris, D.M.C., B.o.B. and a host of others, Barak recently admitted to being a fan of artists like Nas and Lil Wayne. “My rap palate has greatly improved,” President Obama told Rolling Stone in a recent interview. “Jay-Z used to be sort of what predominated, but now I’ve got a little Nas and a little Lil Wayne and some other stuff, but I would not claim to be an expert.”In addition to spinning on Philadelphia’s Power 99FM, DJ Diamond Kuts is a host on BET’s Hip-Hop show, The Deal. The Roots, who hail from Philadelphia, are one of the most respected bands in the world and currently serve as the house band on The Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show.
