When Iman Shumpert isn’t playing guard for the New York Knicks, the Chicago native and Oak Park-River Forest alum spends his time in the studio making rap songs and mixtapes.
Many people may not even be aware that Shumpert is a rapper – he released a mixtape last year called “The3 #Post90s” which was good, not great – but one person certainly does: Fist Lady Michelle Obama.
The FLOTUS is releasing a rap album of all things as a part of her “Let’s Move!” campaign aimed at fighting childhood obesity and is sponsored in part by the Partnership for a Healthier America and Hip Hop Public Health.
The 19-track album will feature noted entertainers such as DMC from Run-DMC, R&B songstress Ashanti, hip-hop legend Doug E. Fresh and noted drummer for Blink-182, Travis Barker.
Shumpert’s contribution to the album is in the form of a song called “Pass the Rock” which is the 11th track on the album. No word yet on when the album is set to be released.
