Usher burst precociously onto the R & B scene when he was still in high school with his self-titled debut album, produced by none other than P. Diddy.

He has worked with the likes of producers Teddy Riley, Babyface, and Jermaine Dupri, in addition to Sean "Puffy" Combs, and has recorded a hit, "Let's Straighten It Out," with teen diva Monica.

Usher - Rhythm City Volume One: Caught Up (2005)

CONFESSIONS saw Usher widening his fanbase and consolidating his position as one of the best R&B acts to ever pick up a microphone and lay down some super-slick sounds.

After viewers have marveled at the sights on offer, they get a chance to go behind-the-scenes with Usher and crew, as they show how it was all done in an impressive making of-style featurette. Finally, the package is completed with music videos for "Confessions Part II," "My Boo," "Yeah!," "Burn," and the original version of "Caught Up."

 

 

Jay Z - Fade to Black (2004)

With the release of his career-defining THE BLACK ALBUM in 2003, Jay-Z shocked his fans and the industry by announcing he was quitting the business. Having honed his rhyming skills in the tough Marcy Projects of Brooklyn, Jay-Z's story is a classic rags-to-riches tale. Although best known for his multi-million-dollar selling albums, the rap impresario has also dipped his toe into corporate waters. His record label, Roc-a-Fella, has proved highly lucrative, as has his clothing line, and an excursion into movie production. So when he relinquished his position at the top of the rap game, the inimitable performer decided to stage a flamboyant farewell gesture in the form of a special guest-laden concert at New York's prestigious Madison Square Garden. Directors Michael John Warren and Paul Paulson were given the task of catching the festivities on camera, and also managed to capture some candid snippets of the star as he prepared for the show. But it's when he hits the stage that the astonishing breadths of his talents are revealed. Making the cavernous venue seem intimate via some touching interplay with the audience, Jay-Z beckons a breathtaking list of hip-hop and R&B glitterati onto the stage. Among them are Missy Elliott, Lil' Kim, P. Diddy, R. Kelly, and Beyonce Knowles. The ecstatic crowd laps up the onstage action throughout, and are clearly delighted to be invited to one of the grandest parting shots in history. Since the film's completion, Jay-Z has reneged on his retirement, and the music world is a much better place for it.

Light It Up (1999)

The topical story of a group of high school students who form a protest when they become fed up with their school's poor conditions. After a shot is accidentally fired and a police officer is wounded, the resulting stand-off results in a media frenzy that pits the dirt-digging media against the well-intentioned students.
