New Music: Usher f/ A$AP Rocky - 'Hot Thing'

Usher ignites the club on the Pharrell-produced “Hot Thing” off his seventh album Looking 4 Myself, due June 12. A$AP Rocky comes through with a cool verse, name checking Christian Louboutin, Murciélago, and Nicki Minaj.

“I really wanted to create something that I felt would work in both our worlds, a fun record that would be a little bit irresponsible,” the R&B superstar told MTV News. “You gotta just let it go. No apologies, fuck it.”

The song was originally recorded by Pharrell’s i am OTHER artist Maxine Ashley, with a feature from Lil Wayne.

In addition to A$AP, other guests on Myself include Rick Ross (“Lemme See”), Pharrell (“Twisted”), and Luke Steele on the title track.
