Rod Stewart is ready to ring in the holidays, and on October 30th, he'll deliver the seasonal album Merry Christmas, Baby, featuring Cee Lo Green, Mary J. Blige and a "virtual duet" with Ella Fitzgerald. Here, Stewart gives a warm, loving rendition of "Silent Night," pairing acoustic guitar and his throaty voice with choirs and grandiose orchestral arrangements. It's never a silent night when Rod's around, and that's a good thing.

“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."
