Ryan Leslie – “Black Mozart” Teaser

They say life imitates art, but Ryan Leslie turns his experiences into musical masterpieces.

In an exclusive interview with VIBE, the singer/songwriter/producer/rapper revealed that he is back to work on a new EP and documentary called Black Mozart. The creative process began immediately after he received the verdict in a million dollar lawsuit filed against him by a German businessman that resulted in him coughing up the dough and landing a cover on the New York Post.

“Black Mozart starts at the moment that I walk out of the courthouse,” he says, referring to the trial that took place in Manhattan federal court this past week. “I wrote the entire album in the two days following the verdict, so the album is written and will be recorded in layers with the strings, horns and potentially a choir in the royal conservatory in Vienna, Austria, one of the homes of some of the most incredible classical music ever written.”
