"Yeah" - Usher feat. Lil Jon, Ludacris
Emerging as one of the defining musical sensations of the 2000s, "Yeah" is arguably one of the most monumental songs in the history of pop music. The iconic track is so timeless that it remains a masterpiece to this day.
Not only did "Yeah" play an instrumental role in shaping the Crunk'n'B subgenre but the track's unique sound also symbolized the meteoric rise of Atlanta's musical prowess in the broader spectrum of popular music at the turn of the century.
"Lil Freak" - Usher feat. Nicki Minaj
Envisioned with creative ingenuity and brought to life by the collaborative genius of Nicki Minaj and Usher, "Lil Freak" served as an electrifying musical revelation.
This sultry and seductive track — released in 2010 as the second single from Usher's chart-topping album, RAYMOND VS. RAYMOND — married the Atlanta native's smooth vocals with Nicki's fiery rhymes.
With production by the acclaimed Polow Da Don, the artful track reimagined Stevie Wonder's "Living For the City." The result was a tale of uninhibited desire that captured the essence of this genre-blurring era of music.
"Love in This Club" - Usher feat. Jeezy
"Love in This Club" managed to strike a perfect balance between the infectious allure of Atlanta's unique swagger and the smooth, seductive vibes of 2000s R&B. Sprinkle in a heavy dose of energy and you've got a classic trap anthem.
The musical concoction was a smash hit with audiences, gracing the charts for 35 weeks before peaking at the number one spot.
"Lovers and Friends" - Usher ft. Lil Jon, Ludacris
The year was 2004. Usher reunited with Lil Jon and Ludacris for their second collaboration — the chart-topping sensation, "Lovers and Friends."
And the crowd went wild.
Unsurprisingly, the song soared to the number three spot on the charts. Across the pond in the United Kingdom, "Love in This Club" made a strong statement at number ten.
With its universal appeal and timeless allure, "Lovers and Friends" has solidified its place in the hearts of music enthusiasts around the world, demonstrating Usher's ability to craft unforgettable hits.
"OMG" - Usher feat. will.i.am
In 2010, Usher partnered with the iconic front-man of The Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am, giving birth to the electrifying up-tempo dance track, "OMG."
This sonic masterpiece quickly captivated audiences worldwide, making its mark as a chart-topping sensation. Ultimately, "OMG" conquered the remarkable feat of reaching the number one position on the UK charts (and number two in the U.S.)
