British songwriter Kate Bush will release 50 Words for Snow, her second record this year, on November 21st. The album, her first collection of new material since Aerial came out in 2005, will include only seven songs, but will clock in around 65 minutes. Bush's previous record from this year, Director's Cut, was a set of reworked songs from her albums The Sensual World and The Red Shoes.

Bush has not been especially prolific in the past two decades. 50 Words for Snow is only her second record of new songs to be released since she put her career on hold to focus on her family in the early
Nineties.

“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."
