After releasing two under promoted and under rated albums in 2009, Ryan Leslie has decided to part ways with his former label Universal Motown. He revealed the development of him going independent from here on to Billboard after the conclusion of his show at The Bowery last night:
“Universal was interested in reshaping my deal to more of a 360, and they actually made a counter-offer from the initial recording fund. At that point I saw that as a window to potentially branch off and try something that was going to be new and dynamic.”
No further details were provided by him regarding the release of his new album Les is More.
