Ever since he came into the game, Justin Bieber has been connected to hip hop. Usher helped introduce him to the game and has been his mentor. Along the way, many of Usher's rapper friends have been introduced to Bieber.
Three years ago, Usher helped Young Jeezy reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Usher called upon Jeezy to provide a rap verse for "Love in this Club." The song ended up becoming the first breakout hit of 2008 in the process.
Young Jeezy and Usher have often kept contact, before and after the song. Recently, Jeezy met Justin Bieber and the two hit it off. The two have been recording in a Los Angeles studio to rebuild buzz for Thug Motivation 103.
