Hudson Mohawke has aired the full track of “Power Ruby”, a beat that got rejected when offered to Drake for use on his latest album Nothing Was The Same.
Although a snippet of the cut has been available online for the past twelve months, Hud Mo finally revealed the entire thing when soundtracking a Chanel fashion show recently.
“Trivia: that beat was originally gonna be on NWTS too in the early stages, made in 2010 or something,” the producer wrote on Twitter.
Listen to a clip of the track beneath or you can hear it in full over at the Chanel website.
