Mr. Hudson is Kanye West’s latest protege, signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. label. Hudson allows West to have his very own Chris Martin, since Hudson's music hews closely to the soft-rock template Kanye went for on 808s and Heartbreak. Hudson has a new single out, Supernova, which allows Kanye and Hudson to emote in Auto-Tuner about wanting to be a woman's supernova, which makes...not a whole lot of sense. Either way, Kanye is pretty serious about this kind of music; he's not content to be this generation's best rapper, he also wants to be this generation's rocker that sort of stinks but everyone likes (like Huey Lewis).   Mr. Hudson's debut album, Straight No Chaser, is due out some time this year.
