Doug E. Fresh, Matisyahu and more hip-hop stars are hoping their vocals can get kids moving. The artists join Michelle Obama’s Partnership for a Healthier America and Hip Hop Public Health to create an album focused on getting kids to stay active and be healthy.
MTV RapFix reports the ‘Songs for a Healthier America’ LP features voices from other rap stars like Run-DMC and singers like Jordin Sparks, Ashanti and Ariana Grande. Even health experts like TV doc Doctor Oz join in on the rapping fun.
“So many kids listen to Hip Hop so why not give these messages to kids in a way that’s not preachy.” Sam Kass, Let’s Move executive director and White House assistant chef explained. “I think hip hop in particular – so many kids love hip hop. It’s such a core part of our culture,” he said. “…Particularly in the African- American community and the Latino community which is being disproportionately affected by those health issues.”
The first single, ‘Everybody,’ features Sparks, Doug E. Fresh and Doctor Oz.
The album arrives Sept. 30.
