“U R What You Eat,” “Veggie Luv,” “We Like Vegetables”: Those are just a few of the songs that will be on Michelle Obama’s upcoming hip-hop album, Songs for a Healthier American. Ten videos will accompany the album’s release set for next month (check out a preview above, which features a rapping Dr. Oz!).
The album will be part of Mrs. Obama’s latest effort through the Partnership for a Healthier America, which works in conjunction with her “Let’s Move” campaign, to promote healthy eating habits and raise awareness about childhood obesity. The group is partnering with Hip Hop Public Health.
“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 of Hip Hop Public Health. “It is time to harness this power for health.”
While it appears the First Lady won’t be singing on the album, it will feature artists such as Doug E. Fresh, Ashanti, DMC, Jordan Sparks, and Matisyahu. Fans can get their hands on a copy September 30.
