NEW MUSIC| Michelle Obama x Fitness Hip-Hop Album


Just when you thought our First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama couldn't get any cooler, she is releasing a Hip-Hop fitness album titled Songs For A Healthier America as part of her Let's Move campaign to fight childhood obesity. The First Lady introduced this campaign back in 2010 and collaborated with Beyonce releasing a dance initiative remix to Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied". As cool as it would be to here Mrs. Obama lay down a verse she instead has enlisted the help of hip-hop veterans and newcomers to lend their voices to the project. Back in June, the albums first single 'Everybody' was released with an accompanying music video. The song is by Doug E. Fresh and Jordin Sparks, and feature a cameo by The First Lady and Dr. OZ. You can read more about it here .
