Classic Shit!

This has been one of my favorite albums since it got leaked last year. (For the record, I bought two copies) It is a classic album that was not properly promoted in the United States. I'm not sure what Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music and the other labels invovled were doing, but they failed to inform the masses about such great art.
Mr. Hudson displays his artistic soul on every song with creative lyrics and catchy pop melodies. "Straight No Chaser" was written in just two months in the spring of 2009 after a whirlwind of touring the UK, flights between London, Los Angeles, and Hawaii (where he worked with West on 808s and Heartbreaks), Hudson was in a weird headspace upon his return to his tiny flat in North London. "My room was full of guitars and keyboards, there wasn't even enough room for a bed," says Hudson. "So I got my landlord to sort out a mattress for me, and I'd put it up against the back wall, it was really good soundproofing. When I'd finished recording at like three AM, I'd throw it down on the floor and jump in my sleeping bag. It was a very low point in my life'I'd thrown everything away. I'd moved out, I left my girl, I had nothing. So I had to make this album work." *excert from about me on Mr. Hudson's official website: http://www.mrhudson.com/*

The upside to Hudson's label deal with Kanye's imprint is the circle that he is in. He is in the most power music circle or crew in the world. Yes, the "Jay-Z" circle. Mr. Hudson gained a lot of attention when he was featured on Jay-Z's hit single "Young Forever". He will be the opening at during Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 Tour UK; rapper Drake is also on the tour. I expect to see him do a few more features within the circle before he is on that radio smash hit. Hudson is no rookie when it comes to making hits. I honestly believe that he has an album full of radio friendly hits that any race or age can relate to. I give it another 2 years before Mr. Hudson is one of the most biggest acts in the game.
