you won't hear her dropping any rhymes.
In her continuing efforts to fight childhood obesity
through her "Let's Move!" campaign, the First Lady has
partnered with Partnership for a Healthier America and
the Hip Hop Public Health Foundation to release a 19-
song compilation album to encourage kids to exercise
and make healthy food choices.
Artists like Run DMC, Ashanti, Doug E. Fresh, Monifah
and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks are all
contributing their vocal talents to the album, which is
called Songs for a Healthier America. Also featured on
the album are Matisyahu, Ariana Grande and
Blink-182′s Travis Barker, working under the moniker
Salad Bar. The New York Knicks' Iman Schumpert and
Nils Lofgren of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band also
contribute.
The album features tracks with names like "We Like
Vegetables," "Veggie Luv," "Get Up Sit Up" and "U R
What You Eat," all designed to get kids thinking about
health and diet. Ten music videos are set to be
released with the album and will be distributed to
schools in New York City, with other major cities to
follow.
While Mrs. Obama isn't rapping on the record, she will
appear in videos for the album's singles, the first of
which is out now. Watch the video for "Everybody"
featuring Jordin Sparks, Doug E. Fresh, Dr. Oz, the Hip
Hop Doc and an appearance by the First Lady
