Ryan Leslie - Carnival of Venice
Artist: Ryan Leslie
Producer: !llmind
Album: Black Mozart
Label: NextSelection
Just three months after (finally) dropping his third album, Les Is More, Ryan Leslie has buckled down to work on the follow-up. Carnival of Venice, the latest single off the NextSelection general’s next project, carries on many of the trends of his recent work—high rolling, globe-trotting themes, rapped rather than sung vocals—while transplanting R-Les from his usual, smoothed-out aural environment into a slightly grittier milieu. Booth-acclaimed producer !llmind backs the artist’s chronicles of the fast life with an inspired mix of percussion, grainy synth-bass and choral vocals. Black Mozart is scheduled for release in the near future; in the meantime, fans can stay tuned to The DJBooth for further song releases off the forthcoming set.

This might be the first time R-Les has rapped straight with no hook, and the rawness of the beat surprisingly sounds perfect with his slowed down flow. While the glamour rap is there, the typical "go get it" attitude shines through in the short 2:30 song. Freshness.

Ryan, please, consider a move back to alt-R&B and singing. This rapped flow just isn't doing it for me. Sorry.
