Ryan Leslie


Ryan Leslie is a fresh new R & B man out of Cali. Now r&b isn't something I usually listen to very often, but what really draws me to this guy is not just his singing voice (which is smooth as butter,  think R. Kelley without the sex with children and sing talking), but it is his producing. 

But before Ryan Leslie became the man behind Cassie's megahit 'Me & You' (he produced, wrote and recorded the track), he scored a perfect score on the SAT and entered Harvard at the age of 14. At 19, he is a Harvard grad and delivers the Harvard Oration at the commencement ceremony. 

Fast forward a few years and Ryan Leslie has become one of the hottest producers and is on the verge of becoming the next superproducer. But as with many Harvard graduates, he has larger than life ambitions. Ryan Leslie may not just stop with producing, so watch out for this one.

Just check out this beat he makes for Kid Cudi.
