Travis from Albany just called me up at the station and asked if I ever heard a different version of '99 Problems'. I hadn’t, but gave it spin and I must admit that the blues feel and airiness of it makes it pretty cool. The artist’s name is Hugo. And it turns out he’s actually on Lay-Z’s label ‘Roc Nation’. So I guess it was pretty easy for him to get Jay Z’s permission to cover it. Thanks Travis for turning me on to something that I never thought could happen. Actually liking something that was created by Jay-Z!
