Usher Drops Hard II Love – Tha Wire

Today in Tha Wire, Usher Raymond is back with a new album for his fans. It's been a long time coming, but if the LP is anything like its first two singles, it's been well worth the wait. Straight out the gate, Ursh pays homage to No Limit icon Master P with the single, featuring Young Thug with "No Limit".

As you can see the 37-year-old entertainer hasn't lost his touch or his swag, if anything, he's just getting better.  Hard II Love dropped yesterday (September 12, 2016), and for now is available exclusively on TIDAL.  Not a member yet?  Sign-up for a free trial HERE. Below, listen to his latest single, "Missin U".

Usher's new album has 15 tracks and, other than Thugger, there are only two other artist features. Future appears on a track called “Rivals” and Panamanian singer/actor Rubén Blades joins the R&B superstar on the single "Champions."  Below is a look at Ursh and Future's new music video.

The last time we got an album from Usher was in 2012, when he dropped Looking 4 Myself. However, the music star made good use of that music hiatus to star in a movie. The singer showed-off his acting chops appearing alongside Blades as Sugar Ray Leonard this summer in the Roberto Duran biopic, Hands of Stone. The film hit theaters in August, with an all-star cast that included Robert De Niro. Usher was the perfect guy to play Sugar, by the way. So if you get a chance check it out, do so. You wont be disappointed. Take a look at the trailer below.

Co-writen by Rubén Blades and Raphael Saadiq, "Champions" is the movie's theme song. In addition to appearing on Usher's Hard II Love, the joint is also featured on the movie's soundtrack. Below, enjoy the inspiring song.

Non-TIDAL members can pick-up a hard or digital copy of Hard II Love this Friday. Meanwhile, peep the track list below, and if you haven't heard the "No Limit" featuring Master P, Travis Scott, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane & Asap Ferg, check that out as well.
