Usher “Bad Habits,” Spillage Village, JID & EARTHGANG “Baptize” & More | Daily Visuals 9.10.20
Source: NBC / Getty Usher’s been in the R&B game for a quarter century but judging from his vocals you’d think he just got into the music game and has something to prove cause the man can still carry a tune and even cut a rug. Coming back to the forefront of the R&B genre with some new visuals to “Bad Habits,” Usher once again finds himself in some relationship trouble thanks to his cheatin’ heart and uses his stellar dance moves to win back his jilted lover. Not bad dance moves for a man with a dad bod. Heavy D still the G.O.A.T in that category though. R.I.P, big homie. Elsewhere, Spillage Village, JID and EARTHGANG link up to combine some culture with the holy ghost as they spit their gospel while entrancing viewers for their visuals to “Baptize.” Check out the rest of today’s d...

A year after Ill Communication was released (in 1995), the Beastie Boys went back to their hardcore roots by releasing Aglio E Oglio.

2021 Lexus RC Adds Swanky Black Line Trim and More Standard Safety Kit
The Lexus RC is one of those cars that’s easy to forget about. It’s not particularly popular and its design is somewhat polarizing. Lexus is hoping to bring the RC back to the top of consumer’s minds, though, with the reborn RC Black Line. Just like the previously available 2018 model, the 2021 Lexus RC Black Line benefits from orange and black accents throughout. But this time Lexus is also offering something a little extra.

No word on when these joints are set to drop or for how much (we figure north of $200), but whenever they do we’re sure heads w...
