Video: Ryan Leslie “Breathe” Live in NYC

For his last song at a recent showcase at Rubber Trax studio here in NY, Ryan Leslie went a little bit arena rock on the assembled crowd, debuting a soaring, guitar-driven (shredding! even) jam called “Breathe” from his forthcoming Les is More LP and then slamming his keyboard down on the finale in a (still pretty responsible) nod to the instrument destruction popularized by rock-gods like The Who. Pretty big chords for some model-chick-in-the-hotel talk but if you are gonna rap like you a rock-star–might as well shred like you a rock star and Les definitely brings the charisma on this joint.

props to FDR

It’d be better if he never said he attended Harvard. His lyrics too often come across overly self-indulgent and in an age when that modus operandi is considered stat-quo, he is still over baked.

I am a huge Ryan Leslie fan but I don’t know if I want to really hear him rhyming. He should stick to singing in my personal opinion!
