He certainly did

This is pure gold. I'm a visual artist who is a fan of music and i enjoyed this so much. Shout out to Ryan for sharing his knowledge, information and overall great insight.

Is it just me or did the interviewr's sound just lowered to a mute?

I love that this gentleman Will Lucas is giving Ryan Leslie his flowers... he really doesn't get his flowers and he gave to the modern 2000s hip hop culture in plenty ways... Nipsey Hussle knows... I'd say the millennials knew when they saw him go from keys to percussion to trumpet overnighted in his bedroom studio to the real studio in this infamous BTS making the song video... I gotta tap in with this man, I last heard about him with the SuperPhone (another brilliant idea, took Mike Jones phone number on steroids) but i gotta see what he's been up to musically, i thought it was all business moves and I'm hearing he's been doing international tours
