I’ve been a big fan of Ryan Leslie ever since he came out with the hit ‘Addicted’. Some of you may not know, but Ryan Leslie is a genius, this guy scored a 1600 on his SATs at the age of 14; in his Junior year he applied to four University of New Brunswick campuses as well as Stanford, Yale and Harvard. In his application essays he explained his interest in matriculating from his junior year in high school without having earned a diploma. He was accepted into all except for Yale. He ended up going to Harvard University, where he got a degree in Government, concentrating in Political Science and Macroeconomics. He did what most kids would do, make his parents happen and then go on to do what he truly loved in life which was music. He produced Cassie’s first album, and has been making hits for many artists…
Ryan Leslie’s beats are all raw, meaning he produces the sounds himself… here’s some examples of this genius at work…
Making ‘Addiction’…
