In the hopes of remedying the childhood obesity epidemic, First Lady Michelle Obama is continuing to promote her “Let’s Move” campaign and even has plans on releasing a Hip Hop-inspired album in support of the health and fitness campaign.
According to BallOverAll.com, the Let’s Move album will feature a handful of Hip Hop notables including DMC of Run DMC and Doug E. Fresh as well as acts like Travis Barker, Ashanti, Jordin Sparks, and Kidz In The Hall emcee Naledge. It is unlikely that the project will include any singing or rapping on behalf of Michelle Obama.
First announced well over three years ago, the “Let’s Move” campaign was created to solve “the problem of obesity within a generation” by “combining comprehensive strategies with common sense.”
Since its creation in 2010, the “Let’s Move” campaign has garnered the support of numerous celebrities including Master P and Beyonce, the latter of which is featured in the campaign’s “Move Your Body” flash workout video.
