Have you had a look through the inlay card of '808's and Heartbreaks'?
It looks like Mr West has a bit of a 'thing' for Birmingham artist Mr Hudson. Not only has he just signed him to his G.O.O.D.Music label but Mr Hudson has written, produced or provided backing vocals on no less than eight of the tracks on '808's and Heartbreaks'... this is surely the weirdest musical pairing since Calvin Harris and Dizzee Rascal.

"He’s an incredible artist,” West revealed to MTV backstage at the recent EMAs. “I believe Mr. Hudson has the potential to be bigger than me, to be one of the most important artists of his generation. He’s playing these songs, he’s playing them back-to-back-to-back — ‘Dude, I’m telling you, your problems are not going to be getting hit records, blowing up and being a big star — your problems are going to be living real life, and dealing with real life, so just prep yourself.’ Everything I hear from him is a smash!”

Also click here to go to Mr Hudsons website. Its interesting in that it appears to be a huge advert for Kanye West rather than include any information on Mr Hudson....
Kanye is exec producing Mr Hudsons new album which is due out in March 09. Check out the first West/Hudson pairing 'There Will Be Tears' below.
