From the counter

Chad Hugo's name sits on "Frontin’" right next to Pharrell and Jay-Z, and then Jamie Cullum took the same song somewhere else entirely. Follow Jay-Z from here and see how far one co-write reaches.

Pharrell and JAŸ-Z had "Frontin’" on record earlier, and Jamie Cullum picked it up a couple of years later. Hearing a Chad Hugo co-write in someone else's hands tells you how sturdy the song underneath really is.
