Here’s another treat by the mysterious Jay Electronica. Everything that I hear from this guy makes me crave his debut album more and more. This guy breathes life into the soul of Hip-Hop with every step and rhyme he makes. Watch out for Jay next year, he’s going to be something special.

Very few artists have had an impact on me like this man has. Jay Electronica is from the Magnolia Projects in New Orleans, and he’s one hell of a smart man. This guy came on the scene with Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) and took the internet by storm like a hurricane. This guy has some of the best rhymes I have heard in a long time. The thing that I really admire about this guy is that he makes rhyming over a Dilla beat sound like it was his birthright. I honestly think that Jay Elec may have the best flow over a Dilla beat that I’ve ever heard (yeah Common is good, but I think Jay is better). Another thing that gained my attention about this guy is when I heard that Erykah Badu decided to start Control Freaq Records after hearing him. Jay Electronica is the type of artist that you want to build a label around. He is going to be something very special when he drops his first full length.

You can probably search the internet and find some of the mix tapes that have been floating around for the last year or so. If you can find them I highly suggest copping them.

IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHO JAY ELECTRONICA IS MARK MY WORDS, YOU WILL VERY SOON!
