Kendrick Lamar, Janelle Monáe Will Play the White House on July 4

Commanders-in-Chief: They're just like us, in that they don't want to throw a party without a decent soundtrack. In President Obama's case, he just happens to have the connections to bring his favorite musicians to his house instead of settling for blasting them over the speakers.

Kendrick Lamar and Janelle Monáe are scheduled to perform at the White House's Fourth of July celebration, an evening of music, fireworks and food thrown on the South Lawn for military heroes, their families and the White House staff.
