 Although it’s meant for his international fans and won’t be released in the U.S., you can check out Jay Z’s new video for “Forever Young” embedded on this page.

The song, a remake of Alphaville’s 1984 hit “Forever Young” features Kanye West protégé Mr. Hudson taking on the main vocal duties with Jay Z dropping in a few raps.

The video is a black and white collage of youngsters playing intercut with Mr. Hudson and Jay-Z performing the song in concert. It’s a fairly sedate affair, but the spirit is sweet. Look for Jay-Z’s next video in the U.S. to be for “On to the Next One” from “The Blueprint 3.”
