Michelle-Obama

Michelle Obama will release a hip-hop-inspired album. Although she probably won’t rhyme or sing on any songs, it will be the first time that a first lady has delved into hip-hop for a greater cause.

The album will promote Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign in an effort to fight childhood obesity. Obama enlisted DMC, Doug E. Fresh, Ashanti, Monifah and other artists to create songs on the 19-track album.

The project, sponsored by Partnership For A Healthier America and Hip Hop Public Health, will seek to raise awareness through entertainment.

The track list is below:

1. “U R What You Eat” f/ Salad Bar (Matisyahu, Ariana Grande, Travis Barker)
2. “Everybody” f/ Jordin Sparks, Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Oz, Ryan Beatty, Hip Hop MD

6. “Hip Hop FEET” f/ DMC and Artie Green
7. “Stronger” f/ Shayna Steele, Jeremy Jordan, Our Time Theater kids, and E-Street Band guitarist Nils Lofgren

      Wow. Youth relate to hip-hop. if this is the genre that motivates them to eat healthy, an get moving to lessen childhood obesity, as a
      mommy I would think you would be more supportive of our First (Classy) Ladys ‘efforts. If you have a better solution, let it be made known, otherwise. STOP HATING!

    Great idea, I think Hip Hop is a great tool to inform the youth about health. Go Michelle Obama! :)

    Mrs. Obama is torturing the school kids more than enough with her crappy dietary guidelines. Now she’s going to make them listen to this crap?
