RYAN LESLIE

Photobucket

Ryan Leslie, graduated Harvard at the age of 19 and has produced the hits, Cassie's "Me & U", Beyonce's "Keep Giving Your Love to Me", JoJo's "Like That", etc.., is finally seeing his self-titled album release. He's the male version of Keri Hilson in the sense that they're both extremely talented musicians, he a singer/ producer and she a singer/songwriter, and for some unfortunate reason keep getting they're albums postponed. He dropped his first single "Diamond Girl" in late 07' and second single "Addiction" in August of 08'. Neither garnered any major success but did fairly well on urban radio. As for the album itself, it's what I expected but that's not a bad thing at all, a solid effort filled with smooth/chilled R&B tracks. Due to the constant delay on this album he probably will not score any hits but that doesn't mean this album isn't packed with reapeat worthy material.

Usually we post the full allbum download link but since I'm a fan of his music I'm going to just give you guys a listen of the album. However I will post the download link for "Gibberish". This track is MY JAM, from when I saw the making of this song mannnny months ago I was hooked. Oh yes, R. Les. produced all of his own material for the album, genius huh? Don't forget Ryan Leslie, FEBRUARY 10th, pick it up.
