R&B heavyweights Chris Brown and Usher made headlines this week after their show-stopping performance at Jamaica’s Sumfest at the weekend. Now the pair look set to make many more, following confirmation that they recorded a duet during their stay in the Caribbean country.
Full story after the jump…
According to Sumfest organiser Johnny Gourzong, Brown and Usher recorded the collaboration over two-days (July 24th-25th) at a Montego Bay recording studio. It marks the first time the one-time rivals would have featured on the same track. {Source}
With Chris Brown increasingly looking set for a commercial comeback (see: BET Awards, ‘Deuces’ reception etc), aligning with Usher (who is enjoying a career resurgence of his own) can only be a good thing, at this point.
Undeniably, two of the industry’s most gifted performers, a collaboration of this magnitude gives way to many a possibility – both musically and visually with any accompanying video. Exciting stuff.

@Tomi
Lol!…I’ll do my best…
No one know’s what God’s plan for CB , Chris…Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up! Not man God and you will be just fine!!!
LOL @ referring to Chris as an R&B Heavyweight. Usher yes, but Chris…um no. Talk about reaching, Sam.
As Tyrese tweeted today about CB.
@Tyrese Major shout out to my baby bro @ChrisBrown he’s making power moves since he ripped the BET awards…
about 6 hours ago via web
I wish him best of luck. Usher too, he’s been doing his thing lately.
If it’s true they recorded together. It has the potential to be a hot record. I can’t wait to hear it.
Yessss! Yes! YESS! Chris Brown and Usher are my two favorite artists and I KNOW that the song will be hott! I LOVE them both. I can’t wait! <3
that s***’s gonna be so hooooooooot and Epic, I cant even wait
New Album by the end of this Year Breezy ??!!
and that picture is giving me life right now so damn cute
Why are these two hanging out all of the sudden? And what kind of an idiot is Usher to align himself with the likes of Chris Brown? I’d be worried about my image associating with this now commercial pariah.

The Conversation Chamber
I just love me some Tyrese,he has been so positive for Chris and I’m hella glad that Chris will be recording with Usher and I just love him too!
@Ade…Chris is a heavyweight who may have been stunned in the 5th round but he has come back to win the fight!
What is hella real is that you are here commenting on what he’s doing.Stay Mad Hater!
@Tomi
You are right
Wow that was nice of Tyrese, he’s always been on the real with Chris
Secret Voice, you really think so huh? Chris was never and never will be an R&B Heavyweight. Deal with it and jog on.
@ Plain and Simple…Yeah Tomi was right,I just wished I’d seen it sooner,LMAO! I agree Tyrese has been so sweet! Love him!
BOOOoooooOOOOOOOooooOOO, I knew it was gonna happen, haha…I LUV MUSIC THO, so I am sure it will b hott///
They were never rivals and they shouldn’t be compared! Usher has sold over 35 million records all of his albums have gone platinum! He had an album that sold a million in a wwek! There is no comparison! Chris Brown had had success but certainly not in the likes of Usher! SMH
@Sercet Voice
I hear you girl
@EDED
Your right about one thing, they were never rivals. But as far as them being compared, its not because of album sales, its because of how extremely talented both of them are. If you payed more attention to talent instead of numbers you would have never typed that comment down. Just saying….
OH EMM GEEE this should be good!!
Chris And Usher have always been friends to my knowledge so nothing new here. I would love to see both Usher and Chris Brown perform together on a good stage with choreography of some kind, that would be epic. A song with both of them on it would be great but like any song only if its done right though.
@Tomi
Oh we all already know the haters are gonna start coming in lol! Lets review the topics they will bring up as usually: flop, feb 9 2009…..and thats about it lol…same old stuff that if they really believed then I wouldn’t be able to guess what they would hate on because it wouldn’t be so predictable lol.
Usher and Chris were never rivals. And they didn’t start hanging out all of the sudden them hanging out is nothing new. Why does everyone always think they are competing lol? I remember in VIBE or something they tried to make it seem like Usher and Chris were competing for MJ’s spot….smh how messy lol(we all know no one can take that spot) but even with everything they are like the best R&B entertainers these days 😀 This is gonna be amazing!
Comeback chris. His Talent Will
Prevail. Walmart, Target, Fye, And
other major retailers can try to hold
you back. European Corporate Cocksuckers
with there Brown Noses up Jay and Rihanna’s asses
can make business decisions behind the scenes to
keeo your sold out European Tour from Happening,
but nobody, and I mean nobody is going to keep you
from shining in the end. Stay Good, and true to us.
And we’ll keep supporting you Baby!
YES, I cannot wait to hear this. I have been waiting for the two best in R&B to join forces on a track! And I see the haters are out…LOL! If you don’t have something positive to say about a positve message, keep it moving lousy losers!
P.S. Damn, Christopher is looking good with his long curly hair. I’m glad he is letting it grow back out. As always TGJ, thanks for the positve Chris Brown posts! I concur, “exciting stuff” indeed!
@Jonberry
Yes his hair does look nice. But I remember when people were laughing at Chris saying that he is going bald. Don’t look like he’s going bald to me
I smell a big comeback! Chris is fighting for it. I truly hope that he get this 2nd chance. Usher and Chris will make beautiful music together. I’m sure we can bank on that and the timing is perfect. I think one day the story that hasn’t been told will be and Chris and Rihanna will be seen for the people they really are. I can’t wait!
okay… usher is my idol so i will keep it 100…. chris brown is an attention ho… its unforgivable usher u sought after justin beiber…when u can find any youtube singer who will utterly SLAY justin in a heartbeat..yet hes given lambos..n tv appearances? i said it..MUSIC INDUSTRY DOES NOT WANT TALENT NO MORE.. and usher y are u working with chris.. it seems to me that ppl work with ppl cuz of da hype.. beyonce n lady gaga ill 4give..cuz that was UNLIKELY… that was an odd match..which kept us on our toes.. but chris brown?? usher seriously work with other ppl not just da same ol same ol.. seriously.. chris needs to pick his own career up not other ppl
@tomi will do..even tho it’s kinda fun snatching their wigs but I will stop..for now lol. But yasss this is going to be epic! I cannot wait.
honey usher just came back with one song and that song wasn’t even his style he had to go a whole different route and this will not happen i bet you
Cant wait!!
@Commander for Kelly and Ciara —
… ‘Hate-to-break the news to you, but THE WORLD waited, A YEAR, to see Christopher Maurice Brown offer MJ … “proper-tribute!” … They waited for CBreezy; no-one else !!! And if BET had announced that HE was-to-have perform, and hot kept him a secret(?), the TV ratings would have been record-setting!
… But, ALAS, Stephen Hill FINALLY got-it-right …!!!
It was said, most-memorable and talked-about performance, that has “brought him back” and has brought-up talk ’bout HIS many-talents and HIS-redemption! It was Chris alone, ON-THAT-STAGE, no-one else!
So please; your-hyperbole; your-bias and “self-righteous slings” are nothing-more-than “lost in the ‘sea of cacophony’, that bore-witness to bitter disappointment and recrimination!”
X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!!!
@x,y,and z PREACH!!!! SPEAK THE TRUTH
Go Head!!!! XY and Z (in the house)
I was there where this picture of Usher and CB was taken. I kept on running into Usher evryday. The whole time I was in Jamaica I was so shy to ask Usher if I can take a picture with him and his body guard was scary looking. Usher finally came up to me and talked to me as he was getting his breakfast. He was very nice and s*** as he was talking to me. I regret being shy to take picture with him. Oh well its was very special that he asked my name and chat with me.
So it is ok for Rihanna to make a record with a serial abuser but you continue to call Chris names. I think you people that are Rih fans are really afraid that once Chris makes his comeback the backlash will be on for Rih she has no talent to rely on and she is on the decline. but hey we shall see
Team Breazzy all the way
I cant wait ……………
go chris go
I’m so glad he’s making a comeback. The boy just has it.
I hope the song will be great LMBO @ hater pointing out anything to bring chris down
glad Chris is finally doing things although he always was (pple r just finally realising it)…KEEP UR HEAD UP CHRIS!!! its kinda hard 2 when u have pple constantly trying 2 bring u down (smh)
oh now chris gone ride ushers d?ck
@rusmini: you are so lucky…Usher has always been a down to earth guy…you got to love him for that.
YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
My loves on the same track??? The song AND the video will be beyond FIYAH!
I’m soooooo anxious! I can’t wait for this ish! *screaming*
I LOVE me some Chris Brown and Usher! <3

I’d have to agree with you @Bluekid
@TOMI: WORD!!! I am turning over a new leaf! Responding will only entertain them and it will fill the post full of negativity and BS!
Umm…I heard that this was a rumor soo….I won’t get my hopes up just yet. When I first saw them together in Jamaica I knew the rumors would fly. I figured it wouldn’t be long before people start asking if they are gonna do a record together. Just like when Drake said he was in the studio with Chris, he didn’t say they were working on material just that they were in the studio together. Who knows if they actually came up with anything.
HOWEVER if this was true it would be the best news I’ve heard in a minute!!! Two of my favorite male astist on a track together and then possibly a video! Oh my lawd!! I wouldn’t know what to do with myself! It would be so great for Breezy! I wonder if it is a dance record or more of a ballad. Either way I am sure to love it!
One thing is for sure that boy is truly pushing forward and refusing to give up! Keep it up Breezy! VA LUVS YA!!!
I still can’t believe nobody got any footage of them performing at Sumfest! DAMN!!
On second thought…I hope it doesnt backfire like it did with Beyonce and Lady Gaga! Some times two heavyweugh artist don’t compliment each other very well on a track. ‘Video Phone’ anybody??
I doubt this will be the case with CB and Ush though. I have faith in them.
Oh yeah…and they were never rivals TGJ! Come on now! That is just some BS the media and blogs came up with. Chris always said in interviews that Usher was one of the people he looked up to in the industry and that Usher was his ‘homie’. They may have been competition for each other, but not rivals. It is obvious they are friends and while they may be tighter now than in the beginning, they were never enemies.Don’t spread BS, they are too many gullible fools in the world.
I actually saw this coming…lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL yall need to get ready I’m putting it out there Ciara, and Chris Brown as the opening acts for Ushers Tour!!!!
ALL YALL NEED TO GET READY I’M PUTTING IT OUT THERE CIARA, CHRIS BROWN, AS THE OPENING ACTS FOR USHERS TOUR!!!!!
Great performances, nobody cared about the mud or rain!
They would go to Pier One the night AFTER we left Jamaica. FML!
This is too funny, I bet the song will be good though,..maybe…hopefully….both of them have put out some suspect music.
Yes! C breezi is back! Lets hope he dont screw it up:)
s*** as i dont know what not usher cuz he is way older than me
