Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, of course, you got to get into Andre Harris. I mean, my fault. We got to get into Leon Thomas. As you already know, he just put out a new EP today titled Folks, which is P-H-O-L-K-S, just in case you had trouble spelling it. You guys. So it comes to that. The main thing I was wanting you to know is that, of course, we all know him from his acting role in The Lion King. I know that ain't who I think it is.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And I know what you're already saying. Hold up now. I thought you were about to say victorious. Well, guess what? His first acting role, well, after him being a child prodigy on Broadway at the age of 10, which is crazy. He debuted as young Simba in the Lion King in 2003. Goodness gracious. And then he went on to have a phenomenal acting career.
Starting point is 00:00:58 As, if you don't know, he was Tyrone in the backyard against from 2000. to 2008 so if you didn't know well i guess now you know and then of course we all know him from his role in uh victorious as far as it running from 2010 to 2013 and of course i skipped over some as far as his appearance in i carly just jordan just for kids the naked brothers like hold him now you guys see that's the problem the type of name is that but anyways um as far as him having reoccurring acting roles he's one of the greatest actors that I've seen growing up, which is why, as far as the ensemble of Victoria, I was such a huge fan, because it seemed like everybody was talented. And I say seemingly like one of the greatest
Starting point is 00:01:44 pop stars didn't come out of that show, such as Ariana Grande. So anyways, when I say that, the main thing I want you to understand is me as a fan of Andre Harris. It is flabbergasting. I'm just straight up befuddled, bewildered even, to see that this. man is making such a monumental impact on the musical landscape as far as billboard because it's one thing to be talented but of course everybody says that success comes when opportunity meets preparation and guess what leon thomas has been preparing since age 10 so now that he's having his breakout year as far as musically as he's one of the hottest rnb artist analytically of course you guys analytically speaking he's one the hottest rmb artists on the charts as his track mutt is currently the 18th most played track in the world and then of course when it comes to future analytics because you know of course that's what we do over here in notorious mass effect chart dated for november 1st so future analytics has his track mutt uh mutt increasing
Starting point is 00:02:57 to the point where it might be around the 11th most played track in the world now of course it could change but based on the sources that i use as far as future chart predictions it's probably going to be around that metric and let's just say 11 it's a little bit higher than 18 as far as one of the most popular tracks in the world so switching gears into folks which is an an ep 21 minutes long seven tracks and the only feature on it is 4bats shout out to him because of course i already said what i said about 4bats as far as the Drake feature being the end of his his career. I'm open to being wrong, but I don't think I am. So I don't know how he ended up on this EP, but guess what? I'm not mad at it because I never said if War Best wasn't talented,
Starting point is 00:03:42 I just think when you get a Drake feature that early in your career, it very much overshadows it. I remember one last distinctly because I'm a huge Aubrey Graham fan. Is it okay? I got my dope on me. The main thing when it comes to Aubrey Graham is that he said on one of his tracks, I forget which when it was. It was one of his time stamped track. He basically said that his time is money so he doesn't have time for somebody
Starting point is 00:04:09 whose time is coming. I think it's something like that. I'll probably butcher that to you know what and back. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? Anyways, he basically says time is money so he ain't got time to mess around with somebody whose time is coming, right? Essentially letting you know
Starting point is 00:04:25 that he's the only featuring on people who have already made it, which I'm not mad at this point in his career but that's why i say for four bats he was so early in his career i would have probably had a feature on drake's album instead of vice versa but you know codec tried to go that route you already seen what happened you guys so anyways um when it comes to that leon thomas does have four bats on his ep his seven tracks and when it comes to that one of the main tracks that he's putting out as far as to be playlisted is the track my muse and as you can see right now analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio i currently have his
Starting point is 00:05:04 ig up as far as the music video being put out for my muse so um this is the snippet uh from his i g account basically letting you know the official music video for my muse is out now so leon thomas is having a phenomenal year and even that's an understatement one of the more popular rmb artists in the year of 2025 and of course i definitely see a lot of awards coming his way and of course he already earned Billboard's breakthrough artists of the year award back in September. And he won the best new artists, which I don't even know how that's the thing, but hey, the best new artist at BETT Awards back in June. So he's already been racking up some awards, I think is deservedly so because he's immensely talented. And of course, if you ever watch Victoria, you probably was thinking to yourself, man, I wonder if these artists could actually make it in the real music industry.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Well, I guess we now have that question to answer because not only Ariana Grande, but now Leon Thomas is having immense success on the charts. So when it comes to that, click by link to you my bio, let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about Leon Thomas's EP titled Folks? Once again, P-H-O-L-K-S, just in case you have trouble spelling it. And if you've listened to the EP already, what is your favorite track off of his latest or his new EP titled folks? Thank you.
