When the presidential inauguration takes place next Wednesday (January 20), Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will have some theme music before taking the Oval Office. On Friday (January 15), Issa Rae’s Raedio imprint teamed up with DJ D-Nice and the Presidential Inaugural Committee to curate the official Biden + Harris 2021 Inauguration Playlist.
The empowering playlist is filled with 46 tracks featuring array of genres to please just about any music fan’s palate from differing generations.
On the Hip Hop/R&B side, they selected Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige’s “Now Or Never,” Mac Miller’s “Blue World,” the late MF DOOM’s “Coffin Nails,” A Tribe Called Quest’s “Award Tour,” N.E.R.D’s “Run to the Sun,” KAYTRANADA’s “What You Need,” The Internet’s “Come Together,” Kota The Friend’s “Lupita’s Interlude,” SZA’s “Good Days,” Beyoncé’s “FIND YOUR WAY BACK,” Sylvan Lacue’s “Steps 8 & 9: Nature vs Nurture,” Mary J. Blige’s “Work That” and Burna Boy’s “Destiny.”
“As a brand that is founded on the principle of being an audio-everywhere company, we are honored to create the official playlist for the historic inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris,” Raedio co-founder Benoni Tagoe told Rolling Stone.
He continued, “We know that music has the power to bring people together, and after a year of national challenges and division, we hope this collection serves as an indication of a new beginning, positive change, and a reminder that music of all types is a common language.”

I though mac miller liked Trump
LOL!!! He liked yay and xanz n Ariana Grande too
Uhh no. He made a song called donald trump in 2011. But back when trump was running mac was extremely vocal about how much he hated him.
For an inauguration that has been canceled. The blatant pandering is hilarious.
More Kendrick Lamar virtue singalling. Is he going to release another album filled with his vast knowledge of racial issues? I cant wait to play it to my friends at college and show them how cultured I am.
Friends: “James what are you listening to?”
Me (His/Him): “This is Kendrick Lamar. His lyrical ability is second to none and is really the next Martin Luther King Jr of this generation.”
Friends: “Wow James your so in touch with reality. Will you be coming to our BLM/Antifa rally on campus today? We should play that music while we march against systematic racism in fast food restaurant names like McDonald’s.”
This comment wins the internet.
You… need a hobbie.
What if he had donald trump by mac miller.
They need to blast YG Fuck Donald Trump LOOL
Haha LOL!!!! Yeah man!!! That big ol orange guy that the tv keeps telling me is bad LOL! Orange man bad LOL. Trump a RACIST! SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE AND JOE BIDENS TOLD ME SO LOL! ……..y’all believe anything the media feeds you for real
Someone should do a song called; Fuck Beijing Biden/Heels Up Harris. That would be pretty good LOOL
Thought for a second it said Harris and joe budden …. and it made it even less appealing
bee gees stayin’ alive.
Fuck this stolen election fake ass president!
Lmao. Joke of the century
Joe Biden: “How do you do, fellow kids?”
I did not expect DOOM to pop up in this list. But Coffin Nails? Not too bad Mr Biden
Please stop using dead creative people for your fake pathetic political agenda.
The Internet come together is one of my favorites
Wow Sleepy Joe listens to doom lol
Doesn’t it kinda rub anyone the wrong way that biden/harris is so obviously capitalizing on products of black culture to pander to his audience? Like ur telling me biden was writing the crime law and bumping tribe in 94? Biden bumping midnight marauders like “shit, I gotta lock these fuckers up.” Gtfo
If anyone thinks either one of these assclowns (pedo jo jo and the African American who is really Indian and Jamaican) came up with this playlist, then I got a bridge in Brooklyn that I can sell to you dirt cheap.
