Mr. Hudson - "Instant Messenger"

Mr. Hudson's (UK crooner best known for helping out on Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak) debut will soon be released (in the UK at least) but until then, here is a video for track 6 off Straight No Chaser. "Instant Messenger" involves, what else, the new(ish) art/frustration of communicating via the communication device that everyone owns nowadays instead of the old landline. With guest appearances from Kid Cudi, Jay-Z, and Kanye (whose G.O.O.D. Music label is releasing the record) the expectations are definitely there for Straight No Chaser (even though Mr. Hudson released an album in 2007 with his band The Library). The video here is pretty low budget with random visuals thrown in as Hudson wanders around some 'hood but the track is a little more memorable.
