Raymond v. Raymond is the sixth studio album by Usher, released in March 2010 on LaFace Records and produced by Jermaine Dupri, Polow da Don, Ryan Tedder, and Tricky Stewart. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and became one of the top-selling albums of the year, anchored by the chart-topping singles 'OMG' and 'DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love.' Its title references the real-life custody battle Usher was engaged in at the time, and the record reflects that emotional tension through songs about love, loss, and personal redemption. The production blends electropop influences with classic R&B, reflecting the shifting sonic landscape of the late 2000s. Raymond v. Raymond earned a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album.
