Digital Music News is reporting that Ushers latest has been leaked several months ahead of street date. But why? Who is dying for an usher album 3 months in advance?

Could this be a new form of self created hype marketing by the labels? Remember that when Wayne’s tracks started leaking, Uni Motown repackaged them into an ep called Tha Leak, which only hyped up the release of Tha Carter.

Perhaps thats why Amazon “accidentally” shipped those copies.
