The last R-Les leak was definitely that classic Next Selection sound that we’ve grown so accustomed to, and this one is along the same lines as well. Ryan Leslie is working on his 3rd album Les Is More due out later this year. As bonus, I added another track titled “Don’t Leave” for the iPod.

Seeing as how Mariah Carey is set to release her Angels Advocate remix album, and this has been slated to be the first single. Ne-Yo does his thing on here and it isn’t too bad for a slower tempo ballad. There’s a video set to be shot for this as well. And if you haven’t heard, MC was on that juice when she accepted that award yesterday. It was pretty funny. Props to Splash!

We’re gonna go ahead and call this the last Usher post because at the rate these leaks have been coming, Raymond vs. Raymond might never see the light of day. With no video or set single in sight, Mr. Raymond might become the next victim in the album push-back game. This one is just as strong as the last couple leaks though.

Tim explained that someone hacked into his engineer’s e-mail and stole the files of Blueprint 3 songs “Venus vs. Mars” and “Off That,” the first to be leaked from the album. He said they hadn’t determined a destination for “Rumors,” though they thought it wasn’t right for Blueprint 3 or for Tim’s Shock Value II. They decided to leave it in the vault, but it somehow made its way onto the Internet last fall. The super-producer says the leak was a blatant attempt by an unknown mastermind trying to damage their relationship.

“I felt like, ‘What in the world? Who is trying to sabotage our friendship?’ ” Tim recalled. “That bothers me. I respect my friends, because I don’t got a lot of them, and he’s one of my friends in the music industry. I felt like, ‘I’ll remove myself. If people wanna play us against each other, I’ll bow out.’ We talk about personal stuff. I don’t want him to feel like he can’t talk to me about certain things. We both said to [each other] one day, we know we don’t need each other musically, but we are friends. I’m like, ‘I hope you realize that. But I want you to realize that me and you are like Dre and Snoop.’ Sometimes I don’t think he understands that. When we get together, we do make magic.”

Timbaland breaks down his side of the story on what happened with the first couple The Blueprint 3 leaks, as well as the “Rumors” joint with Keri Hilson and Jay that didn’t make the album. Shock Value II is in stores now. More on the story at MTV

Back in September we introduced the world to the Party Boyz and this smash record they had called “Flex” that I promised would take off. DJ L-Nyce and FUTURE STAR stamped it real early and guess what happened? Here we are three months later and they just signed their deal with Hitz Committee, the record has almost 5000 total spins at radio, and is over 550 spins per week at radio right now!!! This record is HUGE throughout Texas and its surrounding markets and is spreading like a wildfire. We have the song for you and a video of them performing in front of 30,000 people. Show some love; tell us what you think.

A Black Thought solo show without the rest of the Roots? I feel like he should do more of these. Not that having the band backing him takes anything away from his performance, but wouldn’t it be nice for his words to be the singular focus for a change? In this clip he does “Respond/React” @ the Silk Room in Philly.
