After graduating college, Leslie forced his parents to go in the music Industry. They told him he had a better future since he graduated college at age 20. He said he was going to do it for two years and if he didnt like it he will stop. Lesli stayed in Boston to remain a part of its music scene. He took on community service jobs to help support himself and would spend nights in the recording studio working on his music.
In late 2003, Leslie began recording his debut album entitled Just Right, and released two singles: "The Way That U Move Girl" and "Used 2 Be" (with Fabolous). The album was never officially released due to creative differences between Leslie and his record label. Of the two music videos made for the song, the "Making of 'Addiction'" clip became Leslie's most popular video on YouTube, with more than 2.2 million views. Leslie also posts videos documenting his interaction with his audience, including giving away free iPods,
