Jay-Z Young Forever Video with Mr. Hudson (Official)

Here is the official Jay-Z Young Forever video and lyrics with Mr. Hudson in support of the third U.K. single from Blueprint 3, the multi-Grammy winning rapper’s 11th studio album.

The music video was directed by Anthony Mandler, who also served as director of Run This Town, from the Blueprint 3 album. The track was produced by Kanye West with an appearance from his protege, British R&B singer, Mr. Hudson who told MTV News of the collaboration:

“I hope Jay … Jay-Z still likes it…I call him Jay like I’ve met him more than twice, but we flipped [Bob Dylan's] ‘Forever Young.’ … But to be on a Jay-Z album and a Kanye West album in six months … I’m pinching myself. To be honest, it just does not sink in.”

In the U.S., the next official single to be released from the album will be On to the Next One, featuring Swizz Beatz. The official music video will have its premiere at the NBC “New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly” on which Jay-Z will perform with Rihanna.
