[Video] Usher Talks New Music, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown & More With WGCI's Morning Riot

Gearing up to release his forthcoming solo album, R&B superstar Usher Raymond recently stopped in the Chi to talk with Tony Scufield and the Morning Riot on 107.5 WGCI. During his visit, Usher talked to the gang about his new music and premiered his new track "She Came To Give It To You" which is produced by Pharrell and features Nicki Minaj. He also spoke on his protege Justin Bieber. 

"They're some people who listen to life and then they're some people who live life. And you know, hey, he [Justin Bieber] hasn't done anything that's killed himself or hurt him to a point were its damaged to who and what he is. I think he's a special child. I think that he's a special young man - I've always told him that. I felt like you know... you can rise to  the occasion or fall, its really up to you... you know, and all I can, as a friend, as an adult, I try not to be too much of the parental person with him. I try to be a friend to him so as, you know, the mentor that met him at 13-years-old. I'm still that same guy like hey, you know, this is the reality of who you around. You gotta make the decision. You know, gotta live out certain lessons or you can listen." 

Usher also spoke on his good friend Chris Brown and the things he's been going through, lately. Later in the interview, Usher ended the discussion speaking on playing Sugar Ray Leonard in an upcoming movie and possibly trying to get Lebron James to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
