First Lady Michelle Obama's Hip-Hop Album Is Not a Joke

As part of Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" initiative to thwart childhood obesity, the first lady is creating a hip-hop album with help from famous faces in the music industry, including Doug E. Fresh, Jordin Sparks, Matisyahu, Travis Barker, Ariana Grande, Ashanti and DMC.

Tailored for families, the Songs for a Healthier America album features such cute titles as "U R What You Eat," "Veggie Luv," "Mother May I?" and "We Like Vegatables."

Although President Barack Obama's wife doesn't rap or sing on any of the tracks, she can be heard talking with accompaniment, as she does on "Everybody" (listen below), featuring Jordin Sparks, Doug E. Fresh, Ryan Beatty, Artie Green, Dr. Oz and the Hip Hop Doc.

"Everybody" is the only song available to download for now, but snippets of the album's other songs can be heard on Partnership for a Healthier America's website. Michelle Obama teamed up with Partnership for a Healthier America and Hip Hop Public Health to complete the project. Songs for a Healthier America has 19 tracks on it.
