SINGAPORE EMCEE KEVIN LESTER, AKA ‘THE LIONCITYBOY’ TO RELEASE DEBUT EP EVERYTHING YOU LOVE, YOU HATE ON APRIL 2

FIRST SINGLE "HEAR ME GO"  IMPACTS MIXSHOW RADIO ON MARCH 19 + US TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

Stream/Post: "Hear Me Go"

New York, NY (March 6, 2013) – Award-winning Singapore emcee Kevin Lester, aka ‘The LionCityBoy’ announces the release of his debut EP Everything You Love, You Hate via Vertusent/Sony RED on April 2.  The first single, "Hear Me Go"  impacts mixshow radio on March 19 and is available for download at iTunes  today.

“Hear Me Go” is a song about letting loose, being free and not being concerned about social commentary. With a soul etched to the groove of hip hop and an edge influenced by the raw exposed nerve of punk rock, The LionCityBoy has established himself as a premiere musician in Singapore. Described by Nylon For Guys as “The most public face of Singaporean hip-hop” and by Time Out as “One of Singapore’s most talked-about hip-hop up-and-comers,” the rising international musician has gained rave reviews from critics and fans alike.

Lester explains, “Growing up [in Singapore] has taught me to respect all cultures. We’re such a diverse, multi-cultural city that the closest people around you could be of five different races, each mixed with many other ethnicities. Because we’re a small country, just forty-five kilometers wide, you can’t help becoming immersed and affected by a multitude of different types of languages, food and of course, music. It’s a beautiful experience.”

Last summer Kevin Lester performed a remix of “Give It To Me” alongside Nelly Furtado during the The Spirit Indestructible showcase, and played the US at last year’s A3C Hip Hop Music Festival and CMJ’s Music Marathon. The LionCityBoy returns to North America this month with shows at the 2013 SXSW Festival and Canadian Music Week in support of the release of his debut EP Everything You Love, You Hate.

Kevin Lester Tour Dates

Wed, March 13 - SXSW Meduse Lounge - Austin, TX
Thur, March 14 - SXSW Hangar Lounge - Austin, TX
Wed, March 20 - Canadian Music Week/Global Village Backpackers - Toronto, ON

Keep Up with Kevin Lester

RYAN LESLIE TO RELEASE THIRD STUDIO ALBUM, LES IS MORE ON OCTOBER 22 FIRST SINGLE "BEAUTIFUL LIE" FEATURING FABOLOUS SERVICED TO MIXSHOW RADIO THIS WEEK

TO RELEASE THIRD STUDIO ALBUM, LES IS MORE ON OCTOBER 22  FIRST SINGLE "BEAUTIFUL LIE" FEATURING FABOLOUS SERVICED   TO MIXSHOW RADIO THIS WEEK New York, NY - Harvard-educated producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, entrepreneur and recording artist Ryan Leslie will release his third studio album,Les Is More on October 22 via NextSelection Lifestyle Group/BDG (BDG is distributed by RED Distribution, a division of SONY Music Entertainment). The first single from the album "Beautiful Lie"featuring Fabolous is being serviced to mixshow radio this week. Listen/Post | "Beautiful Lie" f/ Fabolous Les Is More is the very first rap album fromRyan Leslie, and is the follow up to the Grammy-nominated R&B album Transitionreleased in late 2009. Les Is More is influenced by Leslie's collaborations with top rap artists such as Fabolous and Kanye West, both of whom appear in the video for the autobiographical track "Glory." Leslie was further inspired when he sat in for the recording sessions of the Grammy award-winning album Watch the Throne. "Watching Jay and Ye's creative process further inspired me that rap was the right direction for this album. However, I also knew that a departure from my previous critically acclaimed R&B work would require an even more robust artistic contribution."    Fueled by that challenge, Ryan Leslie created an unprecedented body of work. Along with the music which was written, arranged, produced and performed by Leslie, he also directed and edited a series of music videos to accompany each record. The result, Les Is More is a ground-breaking visual album shot in Paris, Milan, Switzerland, Miami, Las Vegas, and Manhattan that provides a unique and intimate window into Ryan Leslie's life. Leslie recently sat down with Sirius XM's Sway In The Morning Show to discuss his inspiration for creating a rap album, and performed at the 3-day J&R Musicfest in New York City on August 24. Ryan Leslie will also kick off his world Les Is More Tour in San Francisco on September 18, an electrifying show with live instrumentation and sweeping keyboard solos.
