He caught Jay-Z's attention after writing 'Disappear' for Beyonce's 'I Am...Sasha Fierce'. Since then, Jay-Z signed him to his Roc Nation label, and gave him his nod to cover the classic '99 Problems'. It's a bluesy/bluegrassy take on the original, and it's one hell of a track.

Hugo - '99 Problems'
This is from a new artist coming onto the scene by the name of Hugo. According to his bio, he is British born, and was raised in Thailand. He made his way to the States later in life. Musically, his main influences are pre-1977. When it comes to post '77 influences: "anything Jack White touches". Believe me, it shows.
