Singer Kevin Richardson has announced that he will return to the Backstreet Boys this winter after a lengthy hiatus from the group. Richardson, who left the band in 2006, will reunite with the rest of the Backstreet Boys at a special concert in the Bahamas as part of their second annual SS Backstreet cruise.

In an interview with Ryan Seacrest yesterday, Richardson suggested that he may stick around for more shows in the future. "I would never say that it would never happen," says Richardson. "I would love to perform with them again on a more regular basis. Our chemistry when we come together just feels like old times."

Though Richardson's involvement in future Backstreet Boys tours remains up in the air, the other four members of the group are slated to perform on a European leg of their NKOTBSB tour with New Kids on the Block in the spring.

“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."
