Usher, Lil Jon, & Ludacris Present New Single "SexBeat"
It’s been about a week since the Verzuz TV battle on Instagram Live between T-Pain and Lil Jon (April 4). During the Verzuz TV after party, Lil Jon and T-Pain played unreleased tracks as a bonus for viewers. The best gift that came from the unreleased tracks is for sure “SexBeat”. From the very moment that Lil Jon unleashed the record, the comments on Instagram were going crazy with requests that the 2-year-old record be released as soon as possible. Thankfully, Usher recognized how much we the people loved and believed in the record and RCA Records agreed that “SexBeat” should be released.
Yesterday, (April 9) Lil Jon hosted an Instagram Live in celebration of the release of the “People’s Choice” single “SexBeat”. Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, and Usher all joined in on the live and shared their thoughts and background stories on the track. As well as how amazing it was to create such a big moment with “Lovers and Friends” back in 2004. The history and chemistry between all of these men and the magic that they have been able to create on every song that they have worked on together has continued to deliver timeless and classic records. Below, check out a clip of Lil Jon and Jermaine Dupri discussing how they conceptualized “SexBeat” and how they worked to lock in this hit record.
“SexBeat” opens with romantic piano chords and then the beat drops with Ludacris spitting a fire Ludaverse! Luda really went crazy and it’s just great to hear Ludacris rapping on a track again! Moreover, Lil Jon’s production of the record and Jermaine’s impeccable writing paired with Usher’s heavenly voice… its another hit! Usher, Jon & Luda have absolutely done it again! If you’re currently quarantined at home with bae just go ahead and put “SexBeat” on repeat because it doesn’t get any sexier than this song. This new track should continue to be shared and streamed everywhere, let’s keep this momentum going for “SexBeat”. And who knows what else Usher, Jon, Luda, and Jermaine have under wraps!
