In a bid to raise awareness and end childhood
obesity, US first lady, Michelle Obama will release a hip-hop album that is set
to hit stores in September.
According to reports, the 19-track album would
be titled ‘Health Songs for a Healthier America,’ the album will promote the
First Lady's "Let's Move!" campaign, which works to combat obesity among
children.
Obama would collaborate with Hip Hop Public
Health (an institute founded by Dr Olajide Williams) and will also team up with
Partnership for a Healthier America.
Although she will not be found singing or
rapping in the album, the record will feature big names like Jordin Sparks, Travis
Barker, Run DMC, Doug E. Fresh and Monifah.
A single, titled 'Everybody', taken from the
album was released last month and features former American Idol Jordin Sparks
and Doug E. Fresh.
"Throughout history, music has been a
great teacher and motivator, from ABC's and nursery rhymes to religious hymns
and national anthems," said Olajide Williams, founder and president of Hip
Hop Public Health."It is time to harness this power for health."
