Snapshot: Usher x Jermaine Dupri hit the studio with Young Jeezy
It's a sight fans of Usher have been waiting on for a minute now. Back in the studio with longterm friend Jermaine Dupri, a photo of the two of them has emerged on Instagram alongside rapper Young Jeezy.
Following Mr Raymond's new 'Transformation' teaser hinting some new material on the horizon, Jermaine Dupri posted the aforementioned picture on his Instagram this morning, the tagline read, "The look of Southside right now @howuseeit @youngjeezy #studioflow #ushernewalbum @sosodef @global14 #ATLshawty."
With no official word of a title or release date as of yet, many fans have argued that Usher's best material has always come when working with JD. Having worked on Usher's genre defining smash My Way album, as well as the follow up multi-platinum game changers 8701 and Confessions, JD has always been a hugely talented producing force.
As well as the above mentioned photo, another picture popped up on Jeezy's Insta showing both he and Usher listening to whatever it is they laid down tagged with, "You already snow!! #itsthaworld." See the image below.

Usher - "Go Missin'" (prod. Diplo) | New Music
You loved what I gave you last Valentine's #Climax So here is "Special delivery from the cloud"Happy Valentine's Day! bit.ly/gomissin
— Usher Raymond IV (@UsherRaymondIV) February 14, 2013
Last Valentine's day, Usher blew us all away with the incredible gamechanger of a track "Climax" produced by Diplo, which went on to win a GRAMMY amongst other accolades.
Well exactly one year later, Mr Raymond took to his twitter to unveil a brand new track once again produced by Diplo "Go Missin’", on which the R&B superstar seduces the object of his affection over the pulsing production. Press play and enjoy below...
"Go Missin" doesn't pack as much of a punch as "Climax" but is still a decent effort worthy of a few spins, I'm now curious to see/hear what Mr Raymond has planned for his new LP.
Let us know what you think of "Go Missin'" in the C-Section below...
What is Usher transforming into in his "The Transformation Begins!" teaser video?
Usher has released a teaser trailer entitled "The Transformation Begins" via website Usherworld with the tagline "You ready #TeamUsher? The transformation begins , but leaves slightly baffled as to what it actually means or is leading up to.
In the clip, we see Usher shaving off the fauxhawk that became his trademark during the promotion of his Looking 4 Myself album. He nods to himself as if satisfied with his workmanship, then smiles for the camera before turning off the lights.
There's no new music in the clip, album title or anything to suggest what might be coming, but with Prince, Destiny's Child and Justin Timberlake making headlines with new music, Usher was unlikely to let us forget that he's been consistently making hits during the other two artists' absences.
It looks like R&B is going to be packed with heavy hitters this year. Stay locked for more news as we receive it!
