Ryan Leslie Ordered To Pay $1 Million For Recovered Laptop; Covers New York Post

R Les is learning the hard way. Armin Augstein, a 52-year-old German who found Ryan Leslie’s stolen laptop had sought $1 million fee plus interest in a suit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

Back in January 2011, Armin had recovered R Les’ Macbook in a park in Stommlerbusch, near Cologne which was stolen from back of the singer’s Mercedes at a concert tour stop in Cologne in October, 2010. He had then asked for his $1 million reward as promised by Ryan Leslie. However, the singer-producer-rapper apparently backed out from his promise which resulted in the lawsuit which the Jury decided against him yesterday.

R Les’ contention for not paying the promised amount to the German was that several unreleased multitrack songs stored on the hard drive were inaccessible by him later when he retrieved the computer. Ryan told NY Post that he will consider going for an appeal.

Wise Intelligent I SAID IT Prod. by Masada

Intelligent Muzik proudly presents the next single from Wise Intelligent's NEW and highly anticipated 4rd solo album, "Wise Intelligent Iz...EL NEGRO GUERRERO" (The Black Warrior). This is 3rd Period in Wise's "Back to School" Box Set. The album is scheduled to be released EARLY 2013!!!

"I SAID IT" is Wise Intelligent doing the one thing that too many artists today are afraid to do, tell the TRUTH! New Jersey's own Masada has provided an extremely sinister and powerful sonic platform for Wise to lyrically destroy any and all opposition. "I SAID IT" is a giant middle finger to all those who tell us that in order to "get on" and "stay relevant" you must compromise your principles and your message. This visually striking and controversial video was directed by Jimmy Giambrone. It's a proven fact that whenever Wise and Jimmy collaborate on a project something very special happens, and it's guaranteed to leave the viewers amazed, speechless, and satisfied...

I SAID IT single will be on available on iTunes sooner than you think!!!
