There is a challenge to being chosen. Lexus presents The Rushers featuring Ryan Leslie.

This is as absurdly melodramatic as that “Diamond Girl” music video. Spotted at the future ex-wifey h.e.r.’s tilt.

The R&B Gods were definitely on their shit this week. 40 new/unreleased joints from the likes of Destiny’s Child, Ne-Yo, Next, Usher, Mariah Carey, Trey Songz, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Dru Hill, Sammie and more.

While in town for the Soul Train Awards (wait… those still exist?), R-Les talks about his new album Transition, the process of coming up under Puff & Tommy Mottola, his favorite instrument and more. More footage – courtesy of DJ Hotsauce – under the cut.

Again, the Soothing Session comes a little later than usual. You can blame it on the excessive amount of packing I have to do (on such short notice). Anyways… new/unreleased music form the likes of Rihanna, J. Holiday, Ne-Yo, Brutha, R. Kelly, Johnta Austin, Keri Hilson, Usher, T-Pain, Bobby V and more.

Ryan Leslie’s sophomore album Transition hits stores this Tuesday (my bornday bitches) and imeem was nice enough to offer it up for stream. Hit the jump to check it out.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Ryan Leslie’s music and I’m pretty hyped for his upcoming album. I included the artwork in last week’s Soothing Session and here goes the tracklist. The lone feature comes via Pusha T which results in a banger (ShowingOut agrees). Hit the jump…

Another Sunday and I’m back with the Soothing Session for ya’ll. This week we’ve got new/unreleased music from Ne-Yo, R. Kelly, T-Pain, Mario, Mya, Ryan Leslie, Slim (112), Trey Songz, Johnta Austin, Boyz II Men and more.

Hot 97 held their monthly Who’s Next Live show at SOB’s last night with performances from GFC artist Jade, Toronto native Curtis Santiago and headlined by G.O.O.D. Music’s own Consequence. And of course we here at Music Addicts Only were in attendance to catch it all. Expect a full visual recap of each set coming as the videos upload but for now here a few vids from Cons set as well as his surprise guest.

So Ryan Leslie is being added to the mix for the upcoming project from Ne-Yo & Fabolous? Could be a problem… I’m looking forward to it.

Brand new video for R-Les’ single off his upcoming album, Transition, dropping October 13th.
