On The Shelves Today!



It's been a long time coming, but Ryan Leslie's CD has finally made it to our hands! I ordered my copy a few minutes ago off iTunes...now technically, this is his 2nd CD...but his 1st TRUE US release...my honest review of it? I was expecting more from him as a vocalist...he's done some really great production on other artists' CDs, but his own? It seemed like it missed the mark a lil bit...He can't match up vocally with the likes of NeYo or Usher, but he can hold his own...for me his production quality is what helped sell me...the break out tracks for me are Quicksand, Wanna Be Good, and Gibberish...R. Les dabbles in the auto-tune thing, but it's not too much that it takes away from his voice

Ryan on Hot 97 talks about his relationship w/ Cassie, the exclusivity of RyanLeslie.com, and his outlook on the stimulus plan
(the only station I consistently listen to...Angie is the ish)







Also out today is Bobby Valentino's 3rd CD, Rebirth...I'm not so quick to buy this 1, so I just previewed it on Rhapsody.com...I was done w/ the "Beep Beep" song about a month ago...but the rest of the CD isn't complete horrible...maybe it's the freak in me (lolol), but I really love "3 is the new 2"! I actually 1st heard that awhile ago, so it's stuck...my other favorite on this project is "Stay With Me"...this may be a CD that has to grow on me
