Comedic actor Anthony Anderson is known for bringing the laughs on-screen and Usher is known for his endless catalogue of R&B hits, but you’ve never seen anything quite like what happened when the pair put their rap skills to the test during the first episode of the new TBS series, Drop The Mic.

Hosted by Hip Hop icon Methond Man and supermodel Hailey Balwdwin, the show will feature some of your favorite Hollywood faces going head to head in intense…..and intensely hilarious…rap battles each week. In the premiere episode, Anthony Anderson lets the shots fly as he takes aim at Usher’s past relationship drama, latest music and acting stints.
