DJ Tom Laroc's State of the Union Mix

The weekend is about to start in a few hours, and what better way to get it started than with a DJ mix courtesy of Tom Laroc? Laroc released his State of the Union mixtape yesterday via the Rakontur blog. The mix features tracks by Ludacris, Bob Marley, Jay-Z and the Beatles.

The mix starts a little choppy with John & Ernest's "Soul President #1," a Q&A with the answers being made up of sampled popular songs, setting the political tone which is followed through the entire mix.

1. John & Ernest - Soul President #1

2. Ludacris - Politics

3. Bob Marley - Get Up, Stand Up

4. Jay Z - Dead Presidents II

5. Little Brother - Can’t Win for Losing

6. Common f/ Dwele - The People

7. Eric B. & Rakim - Eric B. for President

8. Chuck Brown - We Need Some Money

In case you want to catch Laroc in the flesh, he spins every Thursday at Bella Rose (423 16th Street, Miami Beach).
