Tru To You

Usher didn’t achieve wide spread acceptance till My Way. He was a slick confident young adult during that time but did you know he released an album prior to that with his then mentor Diddy?

Usher’s self debut album was a flop. Selling a little over 50,000 units causing Diddy to think twice about a follow up effort. Diddy dropped Usher but Ush was given a second chance and went under the wing of Jermaine Dupri. To this day Usher says he holds no grudges against Diddy which makes sense because Puff is a guy you wouldn’t want to be on the opposite side of.

Anyway, some industry reps say that Usher’s self debut album was a flop simply because of the image he portrayed. The market didn’t take him seriously because he was way to young to be singing about sex and love. Image aside he had some really good tracks on that album. One of them being this slow jam, You Took My Heart.
