It's so hard to accomplish a dream at a young age, but there is a number of young over achievers that are born with greatness in their bones.
This week, I'm highlighting none other than the ultimate Raymond Usher.
His single "Yeah" featuring Lil' Jon and Ludicrous is so hot that in the next 10 years when you hear this song again, you won't help but say I remember when that song was fochizzle.
Everyone has got to give it up that he is doing his "thang thang" even those thugs around the block who swore they would never listen to that R&B singer, can't but bop their heads to the beat and sing a loud, "Yeah!"
Usher, in his 10th year as an artist, has just released his fourth LB, acted in movies, soap operas, and even dated Chilli, from TLC.
The man is only 25 and has already accomplished a lifetime of work.
Last week his latest LB Confessions came out on top of the charts. And his single has been leading the nation at No. 1 for quite sometime. The man even manages to take his video to No. 1 on 106 and Park as well as TRL.
He is basically all over your face, and looks really good doing it.
I can't believe it's really been a decade since his first single, "All the Time."
Do you remember the music video and how all the dancers were dressed in gold with their baggy pants and Usher wore those huge goggles on his head dancing up a storm in a factory?
That song was great from the start, but it was only a warm up to what he would eventually become.
This young bachelor has talent sculpted into his veins with a presence that is undeniably there.
This new LB Confessions is sure to go down in the record books for this year.
If you are hating, then just stop sipping on the haterade, and turn off the radio and TV, and close those magazines, because he is everywhere.
That is why he definitely deserves this week's title of ENTERTAINER OF THE WEEK.
