The First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, is releasing a hip-hop record to help promote President Barack Obama‘s “Let’s Move” campaign to fight childhood obesity. The New York Knicks’ Iman Shumpert will be featured on one of the tracks.
Shump will rap, we’re guessing on a song called “Pass the Rock,” with Artie Green. Shump, if you didn’t know, is a bit of a lyricist. Most Knicks fans know he can rock a mic pretty well. He’s not Illmatic Nas or Resurrection Common[Sense], but he’s certainly better than the Allen Iverson Jewelz experiment. Maybe he can discuss lyrics with new Knicks teammate Metta World Peace; the Tru Warrior® just came out with a new track of his own.
Here is the full track list of the album:
