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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
