Brilliance Recognized...

Ryan Leslie (Pictured above with R&B singer Cassie) made his own black history this month when he released his self-titled debut album, Ryan Leslie on February 10th. After years of being overlooked and underated by the general public, this enigmatic and creatvie producer is finally getting the recognition a talent like his deserves.

You can check out the album and many many videos of his creative procress on his website, http://www.ryanleslie.com/.

Peace.

My Beats By Dre Tour...

Not available in Canada! What?! Just picked these up today to replace the headphones damaged during my epic journey on December 14th.  Check the specs... http://www.beatsbydre.com/

The Studio headphones are available in Canada at major retailers for $399.99.  The Tour headphones will be available eventually (probably for around $200).  Just remember where you saw them first... take it from me, they are epic.

See You In My Nightmares

Today Kanye's new album, 808s & Heartbreaks hit the stores, so I decided to pick it up. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of music on it; I assumed with Kanye using the auto-tuner on every track that it would be repetitive and eventually boring, but I was wrong. The beats are nicely varied; the guest appearances do the best the they can for the songs, they make sense; and the album art work is simple, yet very interesting. It all makes for a very nice package and I am quite happy with my purchase.
