What's up, Street Fam?
The song "Addiction" by Cassie and Ryan Leslie is about being obsessed with someone and developing a strong addiction towards that person. The lyrics express the feeling of being helplessly in love with someone who has captured your heart and soul. The singer praises the other person's fashion, style, and smile which makes them fall for the person. The lyrics suggest that they can't see anyone else but this person and that nobody else matters in comparison to them.
The song's bridge expresses the feeling of initially not expecting to fall in love with this person but becoming addicted to them from the first kiss. The lyrics "And now I'm here copin' with my addiction" highlight the idea that the singer now has to deal with their addiction toward this person.
The chorus of the song repeats "I'm addicted to you" multiple times, emphasizing the idea that the singer cannot get enough of the person they are in love with. The song ends with the lyrics "You're my addiction" which reinforces the idea that this person has become the center of the singer's universe.

Cassie voice sounded so much better alongside Ryan’s productions. His tracks brought her smoothness to the forefront
@KeyWats
I swear I only want a second album from her if it's just him & her... They were clearly in love.. ❤

If she'd stayed under his guidance, she'd be the star she wanted. But Diddy was just too huge to resist.
@killflowvibes
I'm actually pretty annoyed Ryan Leslie never blew up like he should have, he's really talented
@patchesohoulihan7593
He's a producer and song writer him , Neyo and Keri hilson been relevant way before they blew up with their own hit singles
@killflowvibes
Steve Briggins no no I know, but I mean mainstream success. Sure he probably doesn't care because he's making money regardless if its in the public eye. But I really did like his music and artistry and he kinda fell from the scene of making his own music and not just song writing. After I saw the making of the song "Addiction" and how much musical genius the man had I was pretty excited to hear more from him, but he hasn't made music in a few years I believe
@imancharleston6545
Ikr. It really bothers me that he didn't blow up. He is so talented and i loved his music.
