Welcome to Ryan Leyba.com

I’ve had the opportunity to meet some amazingly talented people in NYC, but the entire DXA crew takes the cake. Dface, Calamity Chris, Dome Peace and Ice Rocks create the best hip hop coming out of New York at the moment. From one hip hop fan to another, give their latest album, “Progression” a listen… it’s FRESH!

You can also download one of their dopest tracks yet, featuring Skyzoo. Click here to download “Searching.”

Here Dface schools Iggy Chop on the importance of vintage equipment. You can’t mess with the MPC3000… so I hear…

Alright, so this site has been dormant since I got my new gig at ESPN.com/Action, but I’ve been thinking long and hard about it and I’m bringing it back to life, but it’ll be based on my personal life, music and experiences - not my photography, design or any work related matter. That’s Ryan Leyba. This is Iggy Chop. Tag along with me as I journey through the streets of New York City - record digging, beat making, midnight bike sessions… it’ll all be here. Photos, videos, philosophies and musical progression. This is the real Iggy Chop. Who’s Ryan Leyba? Nowhere to be found on this site…

Let’s start with this gem. I didn’t cop it, but I should’ve. The cover is all time!

Stay tuned, if all goes according to plan, this will begin to become a daily part of my life…
