According to an early leak of Usher‘s tracklist for his Versus EP, Ciara was listed as the featured artist on “Hot Tottie” alongside Jay-Z. However, CiCi's verse has not made it to the final cut.

Even six months after its release, Diddy-Dirty Money's Last Train to Paris keeps on rolling as another album cut receives the video treatment. This time around, it is the Usher-powered "Looking for Love" that is visualized.

After J. Cole, it is Rick Rozay's turn to present his reference track for Diddy's Last Train To Paris which is due December 14th. Titled "Looking For Love", the song finds the rapper teaming up with Usher.

Here comes the previously announced collaboration between Usher and Jay-Z, titled "Hot Toddy". The Pollow Da Don-produced track is set to appear on the singer's upcoming Versus EP. Apparently, this is an unfinished version as Ciara is said to replace Ester Dean on the final version. You will find Jay commenting on some issues that have been connected to him for a while now. The title refers to a drink (cider) that is severed hot and mixed with alcohol. The Versus EP is slated for an August 24th-release.

After his tumultuous divorce last year Usher clearly seems to be ready to embrace the life as a single to the fullest as can be seen in his latest video for his new single "Lil Freak". On that note the crooner enlists the talents of Young Money's First Lady Nickie Minaj to find the right company for a fun-filled night. High-profile artists and friends like Jamie Foxx and Ciara seem to have their share of entertainment as well. Usher's new album "Raymond vs. Raymond" is set to be released next tuesday via Sony Music.
