Chae Hawk ft. Joel Madden (of Good Charlotte) - Lost

Chae Hawk - Lost

Producer: Jonathan "J.R." Rotem

Album: Blues of a Journeyman

Label: Team Radio

Sampling Coldplay and collaborating with pop-punkers are common tactics of hip-hop artists looking to expand their audience – but, if my calculations are correct, attempting to do both at once would result in such a high concentration of crossover appeal that you’d risk destroying the very fabric of space-time. Then again, I was never much of a math whiz. In any case, Booth newcomer Chae Hawk‘s latest single, Lost, finds him boldly venturing where others haven’t dared to tread. J.R. Rotem helms the boards, interpolating the Brit-rockers’ eponymous cut into an anthemic hip-hop instrumental (which some may recognize from B.o.B‘s unreleased Not Lost). The Buffalo repper delivers lofty lyricism to match, lacing the beat with lovingly-described fantasies of fame and fortune (complete with the obligatory nod to Juicy). Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden delivers the coup de grace, putting his own (Autotune-drecnhed) spin on Chris Martin’s chorus. Will this single earn Hawk the demographic-bridging success he desires? Speculate away – and, if you’re digging it stay tuned for an official release of his Blues of a Journeyman LP.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11633	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Catchy little pop tune. The Joel Madden hook with Auto-Tune doesn't hold a candle to the Coldplay version via Chris Martin, but I am sure they went through enough just getting the sample clearance rights for JR to sample the song. I could see this stirring some buzz for Mr. Hawk. Follow @DJBooth

PrIc3Le$$ Tastemaker Total Ratings: 1305	Rating: PrIc3Le$$'s Top Rated Songs This song will always belong to B.o.B . Whis is why it's nice to see that Chae Hawk isn't trying to be him. He manages to put his own spin on the song and switches it up enough to escape B.o.B's shadow a little bit.

I.am.Hip.Hop DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 19	Rating: I.am.Hip.Hop's Top Rated Songs not feeling this at all! I'm just finding myself comparing this to the remix version Mick Boogie did on the Grammy 2009 mixtape, where he takes the first verse of Jay-Z's Blueprint and puts it over the piano mix of Coldplay's Lost!
