Jennifer Hudson will guest star on NBC's musical drama Smash. Hudson is set for a multiple episode storyline in the upcoming second season of the show, playing Tony-Award winning Broadway actress Veronica Moore, and she will appear in the second season's premiere. Smash also features former American Idol contestant Katherine McPhee and executive producer Steven Spielberg.

Hudson, who won an Academy Award in 2007 for her role in Dreamgirls, has stayed inactive following her brother-in-law's conviction in the murder of her family, though she recently teamed up with John Fogerty to re-record Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary."

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
