I Know What You Like!
Last month I visited Shade 45 Radio and announced that I’d be “launching the most unprecedented on-line campaign anyone has ever seen in history”:
I’ve watched labels and artists take advantage of the blueprint that I laid out in 2005 on ns4life.com and I’m happy to see that some have enjoyed incredible success with that model. Somehow, no-one’s been able to do it like we do it at NextSelection…you know, daily video updates from the artist. I stress DAILY, VIDEO, and ARTIST. That’s why I’m back to do it the way it’s supposed to be done.
I’ve read all the comments around the blogosphere (good and critical) of my album cover (shot by my friend Armen Djerrahian) and I say – it’s about the MUSIC. I know what I like – and if you like music that makes you feel good, I’m sure you’ll get into my album and into this right here:
When you watch the video again, make sure you look for the following NextSelection friends and family (in order of appearance): Zina Star, Rich Dollaz, Joy Leslie, Steven Galgano, Evan Rogers, Steve Graham, Brandon Fletcher, Willie Caba, Mike Norris, the top of Ed Woods’ head, Shiv Pandya, Yamill Vallecillo, Fabrizio Brienza (blurry on the couch), Noémie Lenoir, Jose “Jaq” Quezada, Debbie Weinberg, & Daytona Jones.
…And on my album cover – shout out to Corey Shapiro for the vintage Ray-Ban frames, Lyndon Mackenzie @ Reiss for the v-neck, Roger Hinds (my tailor in Boston) for the jeans, Dean & Dan Caten (as well as Rigo Lora and Anna Voorhees) of DSquared2 for the chain. Frida Giannini from Gucci…though I’ve yet to meet you, I respect what you’re doing at Gucci so I’m rockin’ your belt.

All the best. I’ve added your site onto my favorite column as once my site is launched an email will be sent out as well.
Good luck w/ all of your endeavors.
Stop by & visit my facebook page as sometimes when ever in a mood I periodically share my music w/ postings on facebook. Note- I have maxed out 3, 80 gig Ipods so I am musically inclined. Be in touch, be well.

Yo R-Les the Music -Video – Studio …etc Archives arent still updated right?
DAMN! THATS ONE HOT SONG! R-LES HAS DONE IT ONCE AGAIN…
@Tarek – The category menu is dynamic, so I had to put this post in every category for the links to be visible. The archives will fill up as I post more videos over time. – R
YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!!
Dude, you are definitely not in a box with your music! Nice one! Can’t wait for your album to come out!
Hey Mr R-Les, love your job and what’s you do about the feedback. I appreciate so much and you’re the one singer who reply and give feedback all the time.
I’ve read your about me and you’re right when you talk about your parents. I’ve got my school degree, for my parents. Now, im happy because i know that im really educated, and now i try to follow my own dream. Im french speaker and try to become bilingual.
So, happy new year and be safe out there.
thats lush!!
love your music and cant wait for the album!
and please try to come to germany
!
R. Les, you are probably the most talented producer, singer, song-writer in the game right now alongside Kanye. I have already pre-ordered your self-titled due out in February and I’m looking forward to a great album to start off the year! One question, will the track for “Gibberish” be on the album? I love the synths in there!
song is dope… sumthin i would be rockin out to on the daily!!! keep up the work man… lookin forward to the album drop.
WARNING: THIS HAS POTENTIAL TO BE A LONG POST
Ryan Leslie it’s good to see you making moves. I been a fan of your music for a while now. I’d say since 2006. I know that there a fans who’ve been with you before then, but it’s been a long ride nonetheless.
You are an inspiration to me in a lot of ways, but most importantly, musically. Your work is pure music genius!!!! I can’t wait for the album to drop. I don’t wanna ramble but we’re on this journey together. I have joined your on-line campaign and I’m making a post as we speak (or write) on my blog about this new site.
I noticed on your “My Blackberry” page that connecting with you allows you to listen my music and collaborate with you or give your opinion and I’m really looking forward to that. I have made at least 3 songs that have been purely inspired by your work and you need to hear them. BTW I’m a producer not an artist.
Anyways, to cut this short, keep doing you ‘cuz we’re all here to support you. 2009 is your year Ryan.
This video is so crazy… love the song. Ladie and Gentlemen … He’s back…
Oh and by the way. Just cause his song isnt being requested at radio doesnt mean he does not have fans. Most people have an ipod hooked to their car radio so I dont even listen to the radio that much… Labels dont know what they are talking about some of the time.
I love the new website! Everything looks nice. But I thought there would maybe be a board for your fans to discuss. Will that be online someday? And what about the other feature we were talking about?
I love the song! You did me a huge favor by putting Joy in there! I adore her, she is so cute and I love her voice. <3
I’m gonna check the other things out now, have a nice weekend!
Hey Ryan, man it’s an honor to be part of this movement. I wanted to thank you for making fresh new music that doesn’t sound like any other. As a music major and an aspiring producer, this music hits me in a very unique way. We the fans are here to support you all the way to the top. Thanks for the inspiration and good luck to you!
Hey Ryan excellent work man loving the new website
I look forward to buying your album when it comes out
have you ever considered working with Craig David?
If both of your voices were on a track then it would be insane
AMAZING!!!!
Best music creator ever!
U rock Ryan
xxx

I know that your Next Selection will be the artist Rueso on your label. Lol lol The hottness. A great addition to the Next Selection Family!! http://www.myspace.com/rueso
Hey Mr. Leslie,

P.S. You have more fans than you even know.
Man, it’s good to see you back on the Internet in this fashion. There’s truly been a drought from the days of ns4life.com until now. Can’t wait for the album man!!!
Ryan, if I’m correct this site is fresh as of today, which is crazy because I just happened to come to it for a article we are doing at G Style Magazine. Congrats on the new layout, I’m feeling it!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I truly respect what your doing and feeling how you are using technology and the web to reach, and interact with your fans! The industry really needs to take a page out of your playbook!
I’ve actually just sent you a email to that holla@ryanleslie.com email address, I hope you respond to it, because I’m really serious about it. Again congrats and good stuff here man!
I’ll help spread the word Ryan. I love your ambition and you deserve it! Can’t wait for the album =)
Yo!
R. LES …………. I’m From Sydney Australia and we love your style down here! My Cousin and I have been a fan since we heard “the way that you move girl” You are an amazing artist!
“I Know What You Like!” Is Amazing! I love how you show your fans how you create your tracks!
Wishing you all the best for your album release in Feb!
Daniel.
@R – LES, I get it now.

Yo R.. Congrats on the Site.. its def one step closer to your revolutionary On-line campaign.. you have mastered youtube, facebook, and Blackberry.

Mr. Leslie, I must say you’re music is definitely hot, without a doubt. Keep doing what you’re doing man, your album is highly anticipated!! You should try to do more concerts here in PA, especially State College; large fan base and population!!!
Lol Steve reminds me on Justin Timberlake on this 100% !!! WATCH IT!
Crazy!
Ryan,

HEY MAN……..TELL RICH I NEED MY DAMN DROPS FROM U…….LOL…..YO I CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM ………U MAKE THAT GOOD FEEL MUSIC..KEEP DOIN WHAT U DOIN MAN……..DJ J.HAYES …..AKA DJ JSMOOVE 09 IS GONNA BE FINE……R.I.P. CRMC..1/10/09
haha man thats a nice track, can’t wait to pick up the album. And don’t worry everyone will recognize your talent, NextSelection is the future.
love the new site and vid =)
You are a phenomenal musician and your label is tripping if they push your album back again. I have the release date saved in my i-calendar. I wrote about you in my blog, check it out http://mostsleptonartists.blogspot.com/!
efffing sick… sorry about the language, but i think it shows more emotion
taking it back to the style that made me notice u in the fist place.
…Pure insanity!! Can’t wait for the album, 2009 is your year!!
Your album is very much highly anticipated and will be one of the few albums that I will ever buy. To be honest besides the two albums I purchased when the artists were at my school, I have not bought one since I was probably like 12. I know What You Like is all I’m listening to now, even if it’s video
You have come a long way. Long time ago I remember that kid who would rip up the stage and even let me back him up. Glad to see your life has been blessed.
I’m convinced. In fact, I can’t wait!
Your musical enthusiasm is properly contagious.
I’m getting your album when it comes out!
Peace,
Afua x
ive been convinced for a long time… if you’re looking to expand NextSelection any further.. holla at me..
I appreciate your passion regardless of what the industry says. Keep doing what you doing and like you said, let the music sell itself. I got two copies on february 10- one for my house and one for my car
we salute you Ryan!
An inspiration to us all! Certainly will be showing my supporters about your music certainly. You got any banners designed yet?
I love it. I will follow the blog. It’s about time. I’m posting a link on my blog for people to come check you out…
http://thatgolife.tumblr.com
I hope the album goes platinum. I am a die hard fan.
Sounds great ! Percs, piano chords .. always enjoying your videos
yo this joint is dope…I love seeing your in-studio videos…
Ryan Leslie.. I seriously cant wait for your album. im telling you, im hyping you up to everyone i know. true talent at its best. i swear you are an inspiration! WHEN you go on tour, PLEASE COME TO SAN DIEGO! im tellin you R-Les, people make fun of me for my enthusiasm when i HEAR or even SPEAK about your music. you are truly on another level, and feb 10th everyone will finally see why i act the way i do when listening to your music! woot woot!! hahaha.. good luck and god bless.
hey u and ll cool j song went offf! hope you plan some more collaborations with him in the future.
love ur music!
What else can i say!! Apart from, Im FEELIN FEELIN FEELIN IT!!!!!! So So GIFTED!! Stay BLESSED Ryan.x
Where is GeeDub on this video… Oh yeah I can see him. He’s in France !
g.
WOW!!! R-Les you are officially in BEAST STATUS on the tracks!!! This is some of that “Feel Good” Music. I love it!
On the interview I respect every statement that you said. You are truly a stand-up guy. I was really feelin’ you when you were saying you didn’t want to be an artist that complains! I wish more people could hear this interview, because I’m sure that people would buy the album solely from that statement alone. But you don’t have to worry about that because the Tracks are FIRE!!!
If you ever come to Memphis, and need anything like a street team or anything let me know, I would gladly support, no questions asked…
You are a great inspiration,
Jeremy
gilliamj08@gmail.com
Amazing beat, i love it so much.
you are truly amazing i love this! and can’t wait for your album.
I just want to say, as a part-time producer and full-time student, I am inspired to lose myself in the creation of music, just as you do in all of your videos. I gotta give you props and respect for the movement you’ve put together. Just wish those exec’s could see and realize it’s potential and invest more into it. Nevertheless, keep doing ya thang, playboy.
-Brandon, Debonaire Extraordinaire
loved the R-Les experience since 2005, keep it up! you are unbelievably creative and talented!
Great song R. Les you’ve definitely mad another hit and I can’t wait to cop the CD nxt month
Ryan the song is absolutely going to be catastrophic and you are goin to go places and what you label is sayin “you dont have enough fans” thats complete bullshit because all of my boys and everyone i know loves your music and knows most of your songs out by heart and i think that the tour with neyo is going to be a BANGA and im payin for front row seats ha ha but stay up keep it up and ya album is going to not i hope its going to but it is going to go platinum no hesitation
God Bless,
Nathan aka A.P.
P.S. im prayin for you ma dood
Yo real talk, the last bit of it could pass off as a music video … this beat is jumpin tho so I had to do my thing wit it.. I’ll hit you up tomorrow and let you know the deal haha … hit me back
Was that Joy at the :30 mark?
This is classic R les material, and to cap it off you got Miss Lenoir up in the vid…..perfect
these guys at the labels must be DUMB.
If you cant make it global with talent like that, then what chance have the rest of us got.
Can you not just release it and fund it all yourself…you know your fans would make sure you get paid.
blessage
sickkkk! that song is offffff the heeezy! brings back a lil groovy olskool flava i think.. thanks ryan for such great music.. waited for that for a long!! had that feelin bout music back in the 90’s! awesome vibe bro! keep it up!
Ryan, you’ve outdone yourself as usual. If you won’t say it we will. your label heads are insane or shortsighted or both. But you’ve shown initiative and ‘hustle’ like you call it. So you probably won’t be needing them one of these days. Keep doing what you’re doing.
i love your music. i am completely obssessed. i love watching you in the studio you are insanely talented keep up the good work. you are amazing
I cant stop watchin this man its just gonna be a great song … I get hyped everytime I hear it haha the energy is crazy
Love the video and can’t wait untill the new joint drops. I wish The Diamond Girl remix with Craig David had been released in the US. You and Craig should work together again. Pure magic.
This piece reminds me of I-R-I-N-A. Your use of synthesizers is nothing short of amazing. My producer friend is thinking of purchasing a Korg R3; we’re pretty new to the music making scene (6 years) and wonder is it a good decision?? You would DEFINITELY know. We’ve been experimenting with alternative hip hop electronica….we think You would like it.
http://www.myspace.com/alectrickmusic
Thanks for your time Ryan!!
Mr Leslie I’m happy to see such inspirational productions coming from you. It’s more than the money, but closer to the movement. Meaning you seem as though you want to keep the pure, uplifting, real music alive and that’s what makes your position in the industry where it is. Keep doing what you do, full circle mentality.
A.S aka Voice
YES YOU CAN!! R-less
Your number one fan
That song is a knock fam! Your video diary’s are dope too bee! Happy New Year! 1
I’ve followed your music, inspiration and individuality for years now and i still can’t understand why ur not one of the biggest artists in the world to be very honest?! when i say artist i mean wt u do and how u do it is literally an art form……like van gogh and picasso they were pioneers in art movements, in the same way u are a real artist that is a pioneer of the ryan leslie or nextselection movement! you inspired me to do great things in my music and i hope to aspire to your level of greatness and more! You definitely have that “je ne sais qoui?” that no artist i’ve ever heard has. I’ve always said that you were amazing and the more i found out about you the more i found out how wrong i was because your actualy (in your own words) “Incredible” lol. I will definitely without a doubt be buying your album on 10th Feb, i’ve been waiting ages now and it’s about time! Thanks to your internet media ventures i now understand why i had to wait so long though. I will also keep supporting you and make the effort to tell even more people about the Ryan Lesie Movement! Looking forward to you performing or touring the UK! Peace & Love
Love it! Can’t wait for the album to drop! Imma get 3 copies!!!
Hey Ry Ry! I think I’m the 999th person to connect 2 ur site!! ^_^ UR HELLA SEXY FOR A OLDER DUDE!!
xoxo,
Krys
This beat makes me feel so inspired! Im a 13 year old producer and your music as really inspired me. I live in Wisconsin and I am looking for someone to mentor me in music production. You can check out some of my beats at http://www.myspace.com/djwow12 You are my favorite music producer and I would be really excited if you could help me out. I’m going to be in New York City June 15-19 and I would really like to meet with you.
Thank you very much,
Colin Callahan

Ryan
Your music makes me feel gooood! I will DEFFINATELY be buying your album so I can JAZAM during my hour long drive to college. If I knew how to dance I’d do it every time I heard your songs! Time to watch history unfold….
@ Ryan Leslie, Mann you are THE TRUTH!!!! I will definitely be buying the album. I wanna get into the music business, but I have no idea where to start, do you have any advice for an aspiring artist?
This is hot! I have been following your work for a while. This time is well-deserved and overdue. U are bout to shake the industry!
KID IS KRAAZY TALENTEd !!! LOVE HIS WORK ..WELL PRODUCEd & MASTERED
keep up the good work Ryan/ kid cudi joint sounds crazy already/ I can’t wait to get that album and get inspired/ I’m producin as well and it’s good to see others as passionate about the music like me. You’ll hear of me “SdS” real soon
they acting stupid talking about u dont have enough fans and the first artsist that i have actually sat down and really liked.
THE FANS THAT ARE REALLY OUT THERE FOR RYAN LESLIE LETS SUPPORT HIM AND THE BROTHER IS TALENTED AND INSPIRATIONAL, HAVE THEY LISTEN TO HOW IT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE BEGINNG OF THE SONG THE LYRICS ARE BANGING.
this is like some marvin gaye/issac hayes mix….bassline could be have a solo and beat would still be sick.!!!
Musical Genius Mr. Leslie! One phrase for this… SPACE AGE FUNK! Bumping it man, blessings and I wish you much success with this album. People DO NOT SLEEP on this effort, it will be critically acclaimed.
Big ups to Ms. Joy Leslie on the hook, she did the damn thang!! Not everybody can sing in that register without going into their falsetto-her tone was so pretty too, she didn’t push it too hard either, she rocked it!!
She sounding like a ‘lil’ Keri Hilson over there & I don’t throw that comparison around freely. Music gotta be in the Leslie DNA or something:)
(I smile, nod my head in amazement, and send a cyber shove to the both of you)
I approve of your desire to stick to your ideals. There ain’t nothing wrong with being a “nice guy”. Launching your website, youtube channel, and myspace page have been super influential. Loads of people see your work just cruising around on the internet. Real Ryan Leslie fans are out there. Just looking at the site, I’m seeing a major response to your work. Of course, that only makes sense; so many people are tired of the catchy, flashy, cookie-cutter songs and professed singers out there. (I ain’t tryna put no names out there!) Real artistry is something the public is looking for, and I for one, say we’ve found..in you!
jheeezzz. been listernin to ryan leslie for abt two yearz nw an amm i see hw u cumin up nw. the vibe in that muzik jus makez me wanna move weneva i hear it. u a gr8t inspiration to up cumin producerz bt at the smetym u make em feel like there useless. DO U DO LESSONZ lol? probz not tc
i still be comin back to watch this right here…. as i had lost my vibe for making music, watching this made me realize why i loved music in the first place. and im making music again
Ryan, amoungs your NS friends is listed Noémie Lenoir, but that’s a french model (Rush Hour 3), she’s on the NS crew??.I see that your G wagen is an AMG!!! G55 …
This undeniable talent is so refreshing from what’s going on in music today. I look at his videos on YouTube and I’m simply amazed every single time.
Keep it up! =]
I’m guessing this track will not be on the album? Sad =(. Maybe next time you should include like random keys in each album for downloads online =)
I cant wait to go to the store and have this album in my hands AAAHHHHH 5 morre daaayyysss hahaaaa
U r truly one of the most talented individuals I have come across in a long time. I’m in love with ur musical geniusness! I’m always so intrigued to watch u make ur songs. Absolutely amazing!
i am in love with you because of this song. lol i’m in love with this song. i already know that when i get your cd i’ll be blasting it until i have to get a new one because the old one has melted from over play. lol
you really what the label is doing with u R-LES is beyond wrong men i think u have a equal amount of fans as any other artist out there…. men listen I just come to your pg to get inspired when an down and when am happy because you are that type of genius men you’re vibe when in the studio is incredible…… goood luck with your album and i cant wait to get it…
Infectious! can’t get this out of my head!
Wuz up Ryan Leslie. I love your work from now and before. My favorites so far before your successful ablum would have to be Long way to go for Cassie and I love you for Cheri Dennis. Check out my Myspace site and blogs please. Check your comments on Myspace to for my comments. Please contact me about the intern position that you have or will be opening. I’ll be grateful about that and please don’t forget me. I’ll love to be an intern for Nextselection Record Label. God Bless as well.
Im Gona Be as good as you one day!!
this song needs 2 be on the album
It’s your sister Joy’s track, which is why it’s not on the album, right? Is it going to be released anytime soon? Wicked tune nonetheless…
Do want a street team? I will promote the ish out of your album…..true story I was checking for your album since it was supposed to come out in fall of 2008…..I have told cats that you are ‘that dude’. The way you have promoted the music, yourself, and your company/label….that’s incredible! I belive in R. Les for Pres!!!!
~Ife S. Ekpenuma (currently in South Carolina)
luv it…..
WHY WASN’T THIS IN YOUR ALBUM!?
I WANT THIS SONG! MAKE A SINGLE =]
this song is hott~~~
You have just added another fan to your list! Be well and continue with the innovative music you make…
haha like the 141 others commenting… first word that came to mind while watching the video was GENIUS… keep killing it… and then stop in Cleveland so I can see a show live!
Hey man I didn’t hear this on the album… this beat is sick? Wish I had this one too bro… anyway I can get it?
“I’m for the first time at a lost for words to describe Ryan Leslie…WOW”
Celle-la c’est de la bombe…

Hello Ryan

You are simply incredible. I am a singer and songwriter out of DC, and I remember that the first time I saw you making “Addiction” on youtube, I didn’t know who you were, but it inspired me to make the best beat I have ever made on my Yamaha motif, and when I found out who you were, I it is saved in a file under your name. You are a music God, and it is one of my greatest wishes to work with you one day.
i want to become a producer just like you how and where do i start
R. Les you are the man family… Great Inspiration… Keep creating magic! I’m comin from SC to a Live Studio Session.

You are a unique figure in pop music. Education goes a long way in any business, hard work and perseverance can never be substituted for. Recognizing your roots and paying respect to them in a mature and non-condescending manner really has made your creative contribution popular among people who value substance and quality of music, rather than just the “in” thing.
[...] at the record label [was] that I [didn't] have enough fans,” the artist stated in a radio interview last [...]
Absolutely BANANAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan I just wanna say I really didnt know to much about you until I was surfing on youtube and I seen one of your studio sessions and one of your old video’s from high school .
