Usher feat. Jay-Z & Ester Dean – "Hot Toddy" (Explicit)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

On August 24, Usher releases the follow up to his successful Raymond vs. Raymond, the Versus EP. The Jay-Z featured track has been talked about for minute now though. Earlier today, the radio rip of the Polow Da Don produced track made its rounds on the Internet. Here’s the explicit version. Jay continues his run of impressive guest verses with another one here (and another Illuminati mention for those who care about that stuff) and Ester Dean plays substitute until the final version with Ciara is released.

For those wondering what hot toddy is,it’s a drink (cider) that is severed hot and mixed with alcohol. Depending on who you ask, many believe it helps cure the cold and/or flu.

    Lovin this collabo.. I’m certainly feeling the new Usher x Jay Z track… Doesn’t seem to me that many mainstream R&B artists create to enculturate their fan base at times.. Dare to be different/creative (I’m just sayin).. This is definitely a song that will send its listeners to Google to find out the meaning behind “Hot Toddy”.. Interested to hear the version with Ciara.. *thumbs up*

    @Thunderkush

    “hot toddy” is not a made up term that was made up by some rapper, it is a rather old school remedy for a common cold…check ya facts bro before you insult!
