Jay Electronica Gets The Jay-Z Assist For His Debut Album, Finally Out Now
Jay Electronica, the myth, the legend, the elusive.
you could have heard his name. There's also a chance that you haven't. Whatever one that is, today is any time you'll really get to know the rapper. He's finally released his debut studio album,
A Written Testimony, after more than a decade in the game as a force who we all knew existed, although seldom seen proof of outdoors of visitor verses. It is about time to dig in and get acquainted, while in these turbulent times, with who Jay Electronica
really is and why he's been for all of this time.
Electronica's biggest early hit was "Exhibit C." Over a blistering cloud-crashing beat produced by legendary beatsmith Just Blaze, he carved out bars that put cracks in walls and scorched the Earth that he stood on. He ended up signing with
Jay-Z's Roc Country in 2010 and gradually became a myth. The Electronica name sparked back up in 2013 with a vicious verse on
Big Sean's "
Control" that also featured
Kendrick Lamar to let each person know that he still, and would habitually, have that spark that made him catch fire in the opening place.
That wasn't his only spark. He hopped on Jay-Z's remix of
Drake's "We Made It" in 2014 and collaborated with
Justin Bieber for Poo Bear's "Hard 2 Face Reality" that dropped in 2018. These are just two a couple of. There was never any way to predict what the mysterious rapper would do next.
Well, that was before Electronica
revealed in February that he had a new album coming soon. And, lo and behold, it's finally here.
