Last week, we attempted to get to the bottom of this "Ryan Leslie" character, and it seems he, whoever he is, responded by inundating the internet with new and really convincing media. On his Vimeo channel, "Ryan" posted several new videos: in the studio with Slim (of 112) recording mega-jawn "Good Lovin'," executing 17 heels spins while falsetto cooing at midcourt during a basketball game, surprising an assembly at the High School of Fashion Industries in Manhattan, and most importantly, performing alongside Busta Rhymes at DJ Enuff's birthday party. He also leaked a new song that is getting instantly added to our pre-Valentimes playlist. If indeed "Ryan Leslie" is a real person, this is all just solid hustling prior to an album release. But if he is not a real person… man. If he is NOT? New York can get real crazy, if you know what we mean. Check all the videos after the jump and download "Gibberish" below. Ryan Leslie is purportedly out February 10th on Next Selection/Universal.
