Is everyone in the R&B game in their 40’s at this point? Obviously not but when you have Ashanti turning up at 41 this week and now the legendary Usher bringing in his 43rd born day? 40’s starting to feel like 20’s for some folks.

It’s only right to shine a little light on the popular crooner in celebration of his birthday. Hate him - hey Nicki Minaj - or love him, there is no denying how much he’s done for the culture these past few decades, even if it includes cringe memes and big jokes. More life to Mr. Raymond!
