New Dopeness = Bravo

So, my man G-Spot hit me up on a lazy sunday to spin for him @ Sunset Lounge.....I was mad tired and I didnt feel like going. I needed cake though, so I had to "Git Up, Git Out & Do Sumthin" and man was I happy I did. It was the Talk of Clevelands 2 year Anniversary (shout out to my man Tony Harris) and they had performances by some of their favorite artists in the area. And thats where I stumbled upon this man right here. Not gonna talk you to death about him, just check the music out, it definitely speaks for itself and look out for more from him coming real soon (hint, hint).

Gnarls Barkley - Going On

I have to admit I wasnt feeling the first tracks I heard of the new Gnarls album. But this track sounds alot like their first work, and Im loving the video. Straight Dope!

Santogold x Donnis - Creator (RMX)

A few days ago Ro posted up a track by Santogold, here is a nice little treat by her as well featuring the homie Donnis out of ATL. "Creator" absolutely makes the club go nuts and Donnis is a nice addition to it. He is currently working on a mixtape with Dj Benzi which will be hosted by Mr. Thanksgiving himself, Dj Drama. This should definitely be good to here Drama host over Benzi's new wave soundscapes.

Ryan Leslie - I.R.I.N.A.

Somehow this flew under my radar, (probably because "I aint r&b smooth/I aint a r&b dude/")but this song is dope and feels like real r&b. Not the usual slowed down rap that poses as r&b, and thats the reason why I like Ryan Leslie. Below you will find some info in his own words about how this song came about.

SONG: I've spent the last 2 weekends shooting a crazy photo story for my single "Diamond Girl" starring Russian fashion model Irina Sheik (http://supermodels.nl/irinasheik ). The concept required that we have some chemistry on set and since I speak very little Russian, I started singing this song and melody to break the ice and lighten up the vibe. By the end of the shoot, the boys on my staff suggested I lay it down, so here it is.

VIDEO: A few months ago, I hired Guillaume Doubet (http://www.myspace.com/ilovegeedub ), a talented young director from France to come and work on our video team. He came up with the concept to shoot this video at double speed so when we played it back in real-time, it would have the slow motion effect that you see. So - imagine dancing and singing this song at 2x the speed all in one continuous take - no edits. Watch closely, the end of the video where I walk off screen really gives it away. PLEASE NOTE: This means that the video was shot in exactly 113 seconds (or 1/2 the time it will take you to watch it).

Enjoy, share, and stay tuned for the "Diamond Girl" photo story shot by my good friend Pieter Henket. You can see a preview image on my myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/ryanleslie ). It's my profile picture.

God bless.

In related news here is a remix I did of Diamond girl, if you hear or see this anywhere else you know who made it.

T.I. - No Matter What

The homie Tip drops some knowledge, mellow feel to the track but I'm definitely feeling this one. Also sounds like he is sending a little warning shot to the other westside resident that is Shawty L.O.
