Stick To What You Know: Singers Who Try To Rap
Ryan Leslie
Ryan Leslie is a gifted singer, songwriter and musician. The Harvard grad begged his parents to let him pursue his love for music and they lent him the money for a production studio. Leslie ended up proving his talent to his parents and launched a successful career in music, including producing songs for R&B, hip-hop and gospel artists. On his latest project, Leslie blended rap and R&B in the song “Joan of Arc.” Deciding that he could both be the rapper and the singer, Cassie’s former flame switched it up by singing the chorus but rapping on the verses.
