Perhaps it’s the obvious thoughtful ideas that he keeps implementing in his production, or the absence of deeper songwriting. We can’t deny Leslie’s near genius talent, particularly within his production, but there’s still something that isn’t bridging the gap.

Also, one thing he has in common with the other former songwriters and producers just mentioned: The lack of that special something. With retro-futuristic sounds, as heard on most of this album, complemented by simple love song lyrics that is more edible for the masses. Along with others like The-Dream and Keri Hilson, Ryan Leslie is sure enough catching ears of many listeners by a new futuristic wave of urban alternative music that’s cool and enjoyable. He had me in there working every day.The Ryan Leslie album “Transition” is a new age R&B movement for sure. So when I moved out here, he brought me to Record One, which was Dr. I met him at an iStandard Producers event and since then we kept in touch.

It still took some time to build, but once I did it, it was cool. My process is different every time, but with that particular sample, I still had my work cut out for me. “Even when you flip a sample, the process could be long or it could be short. And then Drake ended up getting on it anyway, so everything worked out. So when I sent it, I was surprised Ross liked it. I was also working on beats for Maybach Music at the time so I threw that beat in the batch, not thinking that they were gonna use it. At the time I was working on beats to send his way, but I didn’t really have any outlets to Drake. It was everywhere when it came out, my phone was going off crazy. 'Once Drake hopped on it, I knew it was gonna be a monster record, and sure enough it was. He told me like, ‘yo, this record is gonna be big.’ That was pretty much through email and communicating back-and-forth with. That beat and the ‘ Amsterdam’ beat were in the same folder. happened to be one of the beats that just stuck.
