Ryan Leslie, “Angel”

Ryan Leslie isn’t the greatest rapper, but for some reason we don’t mind hearing him do it. Other than that this song is your standard “you’re my baby FOREVER” fare except Ryan takes that kind of thing seriously. The beat sounds like it samples a mobile (you know those things you put on cribs to stimulate infant minds) and he’s even using his lullaby voice. Who’s your daddy? RYAN LESLIE’S YOUR DADDY!—Judnick Mayard

Ryan Leslie, “I Choose You”

“R. Les for prez!” Fabolous proclaimed on one of his a Ryan Leslie’s now regular link-ups. Well, we already have a president. One who, coincidentally, is also black and who also went to Harvard. R. Les, however, doesn’t have the nation’s problems on his shoulders, but instead, the age old qualm of finding true love and doing right by his main gal. But at least he’s got the first part figured out.

Ryan Leslie f. Consequence, “You’re Not My Girl” Remix

So he took you on a couple of dates, spoiled you with the finest of name brands, and held your hand while walking down the street. Well, the usually love-preaching Ryan Leslie would like to inform you…you are NOT his girl (let it echo in that Maury Povich voice). Oh, and he’s called in G.O.O.D. music’s resident lie detector technician Consequence to tell you the same.

Ryan Leslie “Ice Cold”

Dear R.Les,

Where is all of this new music going? It can’t possibly all fit on one album. Are you doing a double disc? I mean, I’m not complaining, I love it. But still, are you some kind of songwriting robot machine? On another note, I saw you perform last week at BB Kings and I must say, you killed it my friend. The energy in the room was at an all time high and your band is ridiculous. How do you jump around so much with out getting tired? It was nice to see you so genuinely appreciative of your fans and taking time to say hello to everyone you made eye contact with. You’re doing good kid, keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

KF

Fabolous ft. Keri Hilson & Ryan Leslie “Everything, Every Day, Everywhere”

Finally, a visual for the song I’ve been playing like crazy. The video for Fabolous‘ “Everything, Every Day, Everywhere” featuring the beautiful Keri Hilson and the musical mad hatter, Ryan Leslie, is here on the day of the release of his fifth album, Loso’s Way. Shot from a paparazzi’s eye view, we see the club…pretty ladies, champagne flowing and money, as well as Tamala Jones, Officer Ricky and Amerie. The video actually begins with a bit of an explanation in, “No matter where you go, they’re always there…” regarding the paps, of course. But maybe, Suite903 too.

SUITE903 TV Exclusive: Ryan Leslie Tells All

Feels only right that we post this exclusive interview with Ryan Leslie today, since I have had his song with Fabolous and Keri Hilson “Everything, Every Day, Everywhere” on ridiculous-rewind ALL week. The truly talented Leslie sits down with us to discuss his musical influences, his love for New Jack Swing, and the moment he realized music was for him. He also shares that his motivation is not record sales but making good music, which by his whirlwind year of success is proving him right. From sprinkling his magical production fairy dust on other artists tracks, to releasing a debut self-titled album of his own (which is amazing), I would say this Harvard grad chose the right path.

Ryan Leslie “All My Love”

Ryan Leslie brings banger after banger, whether for his album, someone else’s or just for the hell of it. In his continued attempt to own Summer ‘09, he gives us “All My Love” and maybe just as interestingly, the term “cocoa baby.” Releasing something like “All My Love” unattached to any specific project, you can tell he simply can’t bear to sit on what he comes up with. It’s just too good. R. Les has been performing around the US for months and will probably be able to sleep in his own bed following his stop in NYC on the 29th, before heading to Amsterdam. Let’s hope he doesn’t lose the itch to release bangers as fast as he can make them.

Fabolous f. Ryan Leslie & Keri Hilson, “Everything, Everyday, Everywhere”

Ryan, Fab & Keri Studio Session from Ryan Leslie on Vimeo.

You may remember the skeleton of “Everything, Everyday, Everywhere” in the above video of Ryan Leslie sucking on a talkbox while Keri Hilson makes it rain on herself and Fab is probably imagining he’s already in the club. The final version, now yours to have and to hold, will be appearing on Loso’s Way and on World Star players across America as the trio have just shot a clip for it. Fab doing that thing where he adds melody to his delivery but only to the point where it sounds like an elementary school teacher is poking him with a conductor’s wand to get it out of him. This is something for the radio.
