R&B crooner and now rapper Ryan Leslie released the video for "Glory", the first single from his upcoming album a few months ago, but I thought it was worth highlighting it on The Benjamins. I must admit I've been a fan of Leslie ever since I heard his debut album for the first time a couple of years ago. I became an even bigger fan when he first turned his hand to rapping and dropped a verse on Kanye West's "Christian Dior Denim Flow" (probably my favourite G.O.O.D. Friday release of last year.) Even if you don't like R&B all that much you've got to respect the mans work ethic and his talent as a producer and musician. Glory sees him trading in the singing for some more rapping with some decent results, although I'm not sure about the line "I was bad with a black band/ eating everyone in the game - pac man". Leslie's upcoming album was slated for a July 4 release but had now been delayed so stay tuned to The Benjamins for more updates. Check out the "Glory" video after the jump along with album art and purchase details.
