Michelle Obama to Feature Iman Shumpert on Her Album


The First Lady of the USA is releasing a hip-hop album. Well, sort of. It’s part of Michelle Obama’s “Le’t Move” campaign that deals with the fight against childhood obesity, and New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert will perform a cut on the album called “Pass the Rock” (along with Artie Green.) Per Rolling Out: “Michelle Obama will release a hip-hop-inspired album. Although she probably won’t rhyme or sing on any songs, it will be the first time that a first lady has delved into hip-hop for a greater cause. […] Obama enlisted DMC, Doug E. Fresh, Ashanti, Monifah and other artists to create songs on the 19-track album. The project, sponsored by Partnership For A Healthier America and Hip Hop Public Health, will seek to raise awareness through entertainment.”
