Let's Be Honest EVERYBODY knew the moment we saw Leon singing on Victorious that he was going to be a Star. His Songs on Victorious were some of the best music a nickelodeon show had.
I was so happy when I seen Leon Thomas on the title. I remember he did a live on Instagram around when Mutt was released. He said that he wanted to go to the breakfast club. Now seeing it actually happen is really amazing and I believe that him manifesting his dreams and aspirations is something that awesome to see in real time. I can't wait to go one of his shows. 💪🏾🔥💪🏾🔥
I didn't realize he was 31, he has such a baby face. I love all of his music. Super dope artist. And he was dope as hell as Tyrone on the Backyardigans lol.
To see him from Victorious to now is so dope. Mutt was one of the best albums of 2024. Saw him open for Blxst then his solo tour he's one of them ones. 💪🏾🔥🔥
Leon And I went to the same church when we were younger in Brownsville Brooklyn NY. Since a young age around 8/9 yrs old his parents always supported him heavily. Got him into Acton early everything he wanted to do. They were right there by his side huge part of the reason why he is where he is today shout out to Leon, mom Dukes, and Pops. I actually remember when he got the Lion King Role on broadway
That cast of Victorious gonna need a documentary one day! We knew then, but it is definitely known that they have the most talented cast out of every Nickelodeon and Disney Channel show!
Shalom, WAKE THAT MIND UP! Thanks for sharing this down to earth conversation with Leon Thomas, his comment " stay humble, and bring back live musicians" is spot on. Leon's passion for R&B is dope. Leon Thomas, thank you.
35:56 Loren this why I love your point of view on the show. She speaks from the single and looking demographic. Your point of view was exquisitely articulated.
He's blessed to have been a child star that was protected and still had as normal a childhood as possible. It shows in his humbleness. I've always been a fan, glad to witness him receive the love and recognition he deserves ❤
I agree Leon is such a dope artist. The 'Mutt' album exceeded my expectations. These award shows that are coming out this year. We need to see him perform at the least 3 of them .
When I seen his episode on the “Terrell show” I started listening to his music and became a fan, so dope to see him getting the recognition but he been doin this . Shout to the Terrell show too lol
Thinking back to him being on Victorious years ago to seeing how much he has grown and accomplished over the past few years in the industry is amazing. MUTT is really one of the best r&b albums that dropped 2024. Im really rooting for Leon & wish him much continued success 🔥 a true talent🙌🏾
I remember watching him on victorious when I was younger and I always thought he was super talented , so glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. This man is truly talented at what he does .
Wow! Great call out by Charla! We just found out that "Far Fetched" was originally meant for "another artist". It's gotta be Drake for Bahamas Promises! The Atlantic Ocean surrounds the Bahamas and the experience described is almost identical to that described in Bahamas Promises! CRAZY!
My favorite R&B album of 2024! Last album I thought was perfect like this was Anthony Hamilton’s “Comin From Where I’m From” “Mutt” album has #NOSKIPS from start to finish. Good to see Leon’s get his shine! Bringing real music and lyrics back to the forefront. Leon gives me D’ Angelo mixed with Ro James.
Okay… I commented that yesterday was the first time I heard of the singer Leon Thomas. Walking around NYC today bumping both albums and I must say… I’M A FAN!!!
Charlemagne mad negative keep telling this man it’s gone be hard for him to find someone to love him for him. I rebuke that negativity. I’m glad he remained positive!!
@ even if it is. It’s still a negative narrative. I understand he’s stating the obvious but that one narrative is not one size fits all. He may truly find genuine love.
I really enjoy watching interviews, not knowing the individuals. It's refreshing to learn about some awesome people. This young man is very handsome. Yayyyy 😁!
I swear leon been amazing since victorious but hes a amazing artist as well and is very talented glad he finally getting the recognition this is amazing 🔥🔥🫡
Charlamagne is getting more & more weird lol. He was not raised in NY, yet he's trying to tell Envy that it's common for kids from NY to go to Broadway. Then he wants to specify "the hoods of NY". Like what difference does it make? It added nothing to the interview. It honestly felt like an attempt to take away from his accomplishment. Charlamagne, we know you have money & prob know many families where their kids went to Broadway. But this young man went to Broadway 20 years ago at 10 years old. That was NOT common for little black boys. Give him his props!
Charla is always trying to go against everything Envy said. Yesterday, he did the same thing and ended up saying the same thing Envy said...just in a different way. I love the dude...but he thinks his opinion is the only thing that matters. It can be annoying because many times Envy does make some good points.
CTG likes to be a contrarian and hear the sound of his own voice, and he hates being told he was wrong. This why he modified his statement to feel as though he is right and have ppl agree with him. It is absolutely NOT normal or common for ANY child to work as an actor on Broadway professionally.
Dude had album of the year imo.. one of the best r&b albums I’ve heard in a while.
Facts

"Mutt" definitely r&b album of the year. Almost no skips on the album.

You can always tell when DJ Envy and Charla ACTUALLY listen to the album before the artist comes. The interviews actually have substance and are good.
That track Vibes Dont Lie hate to see me coming
“Feelings On Silent” and “Vibes Don’t Like” are 2 of the best songs I’ve heard in awhile
Leon is that guy!! Seriously, writing, producing, singing and acting this guy is undeniably talented!!
That cast of Victorious gonna need a documentary one day! We knew then, but it is definitely known that they have the most talented cast out of every Nickelodeon and Disney Channel show!

12:23 Charlamagne said it best when said the record company is not doing enough for him because he is one of the most talented artists of our time!
Brilliant young man. He had the best R&B album of 2024. Incredible! Black music is in good hands.
Leon is a young genius! His pen game is straight🔥🔥 He deserves everything coming his way.
I Love Leon…. The realness in his lyrics is top notch & that damn live guitar playing is lethal 🙌🏽🥳
He's blessed to have been a child star that was protected and still had as normal a childhood as possible. It shows in his humbleness. I've always been a fan, glad to witness him receive the love and recognition he deserves ❤
I agree Leon is such a dope artist. The 'Mutt' album exceeded my expectations. These award shows that are coming out this year. We need to see him perform at the least 3 of them .
I like how they really listened to his album.. it made for great questions and a great interview! Love the album!
When I seen his episode on the “Terrell show” I started listening to his music and became a fan, so dope to see him getting the recognition but he been doin this . Shout to the Terrell show too lol
This is truly going to be a great year for Leon Thomas. I’m still enjoying the the project
Thinking back to him being on Victorious years ago to seeing how much he has grown and accomplished over the past few years in the industry is amazing. MUTT is really one of the best r&b albums that dropped 2024. Im really rooting for Leon & wish him much continued success 🔥 a true talent🙌🏾
August Rush is a classic.
Lol Charla let this man have love, it's okay to want to find your person.
A great movie
Feel good to know that R&B will never be dead.. especially because of artist like Leon.. it’s in their DNA
Glad to see my boy get his flowers back to back incredible R&B albums! Mutt is an instant classic first album was superb as well keep it going bruh 💪🏿
The dreads statement is so valuable because that’s our superpower sent from God we get our energy for tht
25:12 Lauren still being so shocked by what CThaG asks guest.. hilarious 😂😂
Dope interview! I see he’s on a spiritual journey! Love that!
I remember watching him on victorious when I was younger and I always thought he was super talented , so glad he is getting the recognition he deserves. This man is truly talented at what he does .
Wow! Great call out by Charla! We just found out that "Far Fetched" was originally meant for "another artist". It's gotta be Drake for Bahamas Promises! The Atlantic Ocean surrounds the Bahamas and the experience described is almost identical to that described in Bahamas Promises! CRAZY!
My favorite R&B album of 2024! Last album I thought was perfect like this was Anthony Hamilton’s “Comin From Where I’m From” “Mutt” album has #NOSKIPS from start to finish. Good to see Leon’s get his shine! Bringing real music and lyrics back to the forefront. Leon gives me D’ Angelo mixed with Ro James.
i love that hes giving drake his flowers
He’s so professional
He quickly became one of my favorite artists to listen to. Easily dropped the best R&B album of the year.
I love the questions that Lauren ask
Ugh! I love his current album, he’s so talented and I had the pleasure of going to his LA show late last yr!
He said "this is the last thing I thought I'd be on here talking about" 😂😂😂 wasting this talented man's time
Okay… I commented that yesterday was the first time I heard of the singer Leon Thomas. Walking around NYC today bumping both albums and I must say… I’M A FAN!!!
Yes it is - favorite song on the album
I love Leon!!!!! Listening to real artists/song writers talk about their music and the inspiration behind it is GOLDEN to folks like me who love misic
Best underrated R&b artist out!!! ❤
An RNB album with no skips! Argue with your grandmother!
His song Dangerous Game BEATS🔥🔥👑
Love Leon, he is so gifted and talented. Great Interview
I got introduced to him late since I outgrew Nickelodeon by the time he was on there, but I loved his character on Insecure and became a fan!! ❤❤
I luv this. "Yes It Is" puts me in a trance ☺️
YESSSSS. Yes It Is is my song of the year for 2024 it’s addictive 😭
Kids going far. Didn’t speak ill of anyone and very diplomatic plus quality music.
Charlemagne mad negative keep telling this man it’s gone be hard for him to find someone to love him for him. I rebuke that negativity. I’m glad he remained positive!!
Everybody knows that's true when it comes to celebrities. Not hating at all
@ even if it is. It’s still a negative narrative. I understand he’s stating the obvious but that one narrative is not one size fits all. He may truly find genuine love.
@ it’s not about sensitivity it’s about how I perceived the message and to me it was negative doesn’t mean it’s not factual.
Mutt was definitely a banger 👍
Leon Thomas really need all the flowers now and hes not getting them. The world needs to know...
R&B album of the year. Leon Thomas is a star.
Much love Leon thank you for still inspiring me over 15+ years later!
His album was literally top-tier chefs kiss I knew he was gonna be a star when I heard him on the Backyardigans😂😂
PLEASE come back to HOUSTON!!!! I’m seriously fan girling over Leon Thomas!!!! I’ve check his website daily for tour updates
Album has been on repeat! Can’t wait for new music
Great album, great dude, great interview, extremely media trained. 💯
Loren was spot on with that Miguel question. Made me think about REAL R&B and when it was last around from a male.
i said Miguel is underrated. sure thing one of the greatest r&b records created and people constantly reference it on social media..
I really enjoy watching interviews, not knowing the individuals. It's refreshing to learn about some awesome people. This young man is very handsome. Yayyyy 😁!
Great interview so happy to see Leon thriving he always had that talent he just needed the stage AOTY
Made yall just now giving him a interview and the album dropped wayyy back in September and it was 🔥🔥🔥 before hand
My boy said play “Yes It Is” he knows!
I’m proud of bra foreal I definitely watched him on Nickelodeon and seeing him work with all these people I listen to is 🔥🔥 keep going
"Oh, so you been rich for a minute" 😄😄😄
agreed he's one of this generations RnB singers..Link with Tyus the 90's is strong with him
This was a really great interview... Entertaining yet knowledgeable... 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Leon always been that guy. Glad he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves.
Favorite album this year
I bought his record on Vinyl and everything. 10/10
He so underrated! That man can sangggg 🎶 I would love for him and Chloe to collab
He’s such a masterful musician
Album of the year! Good to see a singer that doesn’t wanna be a rapper💯
His album is 🔥🔥🔥
The goat man his music hard his come up inspiring. Black excellence
Great interview with Leon Thomas 💪🏾👌🏾🤎
I like how he gave Drake credit on the "Drake effect", and didnt let them finesse him into hating on him AT ALL
This 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Y'all know him from Victorious, I know him from August Rush! So underrated. So amazing to see him here.
Leon Thomas, 6LACK, Chris Brown gotta all do a track together one day
He’s produced for Black already, very possible
Would be dope if these new artist would come together on a project and form a group like TGT or LSG did. Even if it is only for one prooject.
Bro knew how to answer questions lol
I’m late never heard of him but he is so dope❤
Ive been waiting for this
Phenomenal words I-will definitely check you out young man 🫶🏽🙏🏽
I swear leon been amazing since victorious but hes a amazing artist as well and is very talented glad he finally getting the recognition this is amazing 🔥🔥🫡

@@UnlykeMstyou can give props and still be a little weird btw
I peeped that too. And why do they have to be from 'the hood" or have a ignorant mentality?
Clicked on this so quick!!!!! Whole album and vibe is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great great interview 💯
He keeps saying it's nuts at the wrong moment 😂😂😂
Good energy interview !! ❤
Great interview.
