Hudson -- A nomination for a Grammy Award will have to be enough this year for a former resident.

Stuart Pflaum, 26, a 2000 Hudson High School graduate, was in Los Angeles Feb. 10 for the 50th annual Grammy Awards. His New York City company, Element 9 Recordings, published "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" by teen hip-hop sensation Soulja Boy. It was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Rap Song category, but didn't win.

"Good Life" by Aldrin Davis, Mike Dean, Faheem Najm & Kanye West and songwriters J. Ingram & Q. Jones and Kanye West Featuring T-Pain, won the Grammy for Best Rap Song over "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" and three other nominations, "Ayo Technology," "Big Things Poppin' (Do It)" and "Can't Tell Me Nothing."

Pflaum previously had said the nomination had given his company recognition.

"The Grammy is the highest honor you can achieve in this industry," Pflaum said. "At 26, God has blessed me with a great honor, and it's definitely an honor being part of the nomination."
