Kanye West has found the successor to his crown as king of the charts - a little-known British singer called Mr. Hudson.

West has taken the newcomer under his wing, signed him to his G.O.O.D. label and is producing his forthcoming sophomore album Straight No Chaser. And he's tipping Hudson to become bigger than him and even emulate Frank Sinatra.

West tells NME.com, "Mr. Hudson has the potential to annihilate me, and I will do everything to help him do that. He's not going to make some of the mistakes that I've made, spazzing out and p**sing people off. I think he's going to end up being a really cool Sinatra-type character."
