Michelle Obama just revealed the track listing for a hip-hop inspired album she is releasing as an offshoot of her Let’s Move campaign, a program dedicated to combating obesity in young people. The 19-track album is packed with celebrity features, sharing the message of motivation. Sadly absent is a musical contribution from Michelle’s pal Beyonce or from the first lady herself.
