itsbongoboy visited Universal Music’s corporate office on Broadway in New York City to interview singer/songwriter/producer, Ryan Leslie to learn how this Harvard graduate was able to balance the demands of a higher education while building a career in a very challenging business. He described how through education he was able to make his Passion his Profession. “Transition” in stores now.
Ryan Leslie tells the story behind his new song and show footage of him working with Swizz Beats and Drake. Find out the connection between him and Swizz and why Drake dreamed of working with Ryan.
I love this footage. It’s always a treat to catch Ryan behind scene’s of him creating his music, now watch as they follow him through Harlem and get more in depth with his journey. He’s gonna release the ‘Making of Transition’ documentary on his site when he reaches 150k followers on his Twitter. Transition, in stores now.

I post everything Ryan, but this is a dope insight on his evoltuion, saying “originally i was supposed to be a brain surgeon” ; how his dad maxed out his credit card and told Ryan he had to pay him back double of what he gave him in 5 years and Ryan paid him back double in 7 months. Tonight Ryan will be performing in Times Sqaure! One day i’ll get to witness it for myself lol.
