Now that he’s tying up the top of the charts, Usher’s roping off an on-camera flame. The S&M-influenced “Lemme See” video finds the singer’s latest lover struggling out of heavy ropes before Usher arrives in bed. The rest is less edgy, cutting between shots of the singer emoting by the pool and, as the lyrics promise, showing his chest — as does shirtless guest MC Rick Ross. Usher’s “Looking 4 Myself,” which was released Tuesday, is expected to top next week’s Billboard 200 with sales approaching 130,000. The release is shaping up to be his fourth No. 1 album. And Usher’s making the release week count: he suited up for the video for the album’s second single, “Scream,” on Wednesday.

Lupe Fiasco fans should be excited to know that the rapper has officially set a date for the release of his highly-anticipated upcoming LP, Food & Liquor 2: The Great American Rap Album Pt. 1. The Chicago native stated, “It’s the Lupe Fiasco that I want to be without the industry constraints, without trying to please the hardcore fans or the new fans,” Lupe told Fuse. “It’s just me, what I would do for myself, if nobody every heard it. This is the kind of music that I would make. It’s a masterpiece.” Fiasco’s upcoming album features the single “Around My Way (Freedom Ain’t Free),” which ignited controversy for its sample of Pete Rock and CL Smooth’s 1992 classic “They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.).” Stay tuned for the sequel to 2006’s Food & Liquor, scheduled for release on September 25th!
