The Chuckness

Here is an unreleased version of Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson’s smash “Forever Young”, sans Jay-Z.  It’s a rough cut, and don’t get me wrong I love the original, but this isn’t half bad either.  I keep waiting for Jay’s flow to come in, so it’s kind of bizarre when you’re left without it, but I definitely like the vibe that a solo Mr. Hudson brings to the table.  His debut album Straight No Chaser was decent, nothing to write home about.  This right here does good things for me though.

Mr. Hudson is a British artist who recently signed with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music label. I guess you could compare his sound to that of Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, but Mr. Hudson has a different style. He went from a nobody to being featured on Kanye’s 808s and Heartbreak as well as Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 within 6 months, so he’s doing alright for himself.  Expect a huge 2010 from this guy. This is his first single, “Supernova”, featuring Kanye, off of his upcoming album, “Straight No Chaser”.  The disc is mainly produced by Mr. West, and … Continue reading →

Can’t stop listening to The Blueprint 3, so I figured I’ll throw up this gem for you all.  It’s the last track on the CD, be sure to pick it up on 9/11.  Also, you’re going to want to tune in to Fuse on 9/11 at 9 p.m. to check out Jay’s live benefit concert at Madison Square Garden.  For now, here’s “Young Forever.” [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Tweet
