Ryan Leslie

Ryan Leslie, a triple-threat singer-rapper-songwriter in the Drake vein who famously graduated from Harvard at age 19, gigs in advance of his long-awaited third album, Les Is More. Judging by lead singles such as "Good Girl"—on which he dubs himself "the black Kennedy"—Leslie has grown more comfy with the high life over the past few years, but his presentation still evokes the dignified showmanship of the Motown era.
