(6/25/01, 5 p.m. ET) -- R&B singer and former Dru Hill frontman Sisqo released his sophomore effort Return Of The Dragon last week. The Baltimore-bred singer immediately told fans and the world that he is as good as it gets when it comes to R&B. Sisqo told New York's Daily News, "I want everyone to know that no R&B artist can touch my skill. To this day, nobody can outsing me. I will sing anybody under the table."
Sisqo also shared his thoughts on Usher, who many believe may be the next king of R&B, "You think you're the man, buddy. I'm the man. Usher cannot touch me. He ain't even close." The singer went on to voice his disappointment at losing the best R&B song Grammy to Destiny's Child, "'The Thong Song' is one of the biggest songs of last year, and I still lose to Destiny's Child. But when you ask anyone which Destiny's Child song won, they don't know. How can a song you can't name win?"
Sisqo's debut solo album, Unleash The Dragon, sold more than 4 million copies. "Can I Live" featuring the Dragon Family, the first single from Return of The Dragon, is currently Number 97 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
