Jay Electronica officially releases new album - from 12 years ago

 



This may be old news for some but I didn't want to post anything about it until it was official but Jay Electronica has finally released his other debut album Act 2: Patents of Nobility. For anyone that remembers the hype around Jay, there was some serious hype surrounding this album back in the day. I remember listening to Exhibit C trying to explain to my friends why this dude was insanely good. He was like the rap nerd's Dr. Dre and when there was word about this album and how it could drop any day us nerds were constantly on the edge of their seats.

No joke, I still checked every once in a while until the release of Written Testimony earlier this year.

Now after years of waiting, we finally have it. Technically, the album leaked over the weekend with Jay and Just Blaze confirming it was the legit album. On Sunday, Jay said that he was clearing samples to release the album officially on Tidal. Today it seems the artist has followed through and released the album fully.

I'm going to post the leaked version since neither Jay nor Just have tried taking it down or condemned it. When you have the time, listen to this album, it's a rap nerd's wet dream.

Really what I don't understand is Jay openly admits to trying to suppress this album. Why the hell would you want to do that?

Please note that this link will only be up until the album is on Apple Music. I don't have TIDAL, if you have the service STREAM IT THERE - I absolutely support artists doing their thing.

You need to start paying attention to the news

When was the last time you read/watched the news? I'm not talking about reading a headline or posts on Twitter either. I mean when did you really sit down and read a story about something going on in the world? For a lot of you, the answer is never or not too often. I don't blame you, it's easy now to keep your heads down and to shift focus on social media, video games or other mediums. A lot of people I talk to about what's happening in the news couldn't care less about it and would rather spend time on other less tedious things. I understand why too. Honestly, at times there is just way to much shit going on. It's hard to keep up on what's important. Every 24 hours, a different scandal breaks or something new develops with something that broke months ago etc. etc. etc. It's a long winding maze that really does not have an end in sight. Here's the thing. If we turn our backs to whats going on in the world we detach ourselves from every...

Uncut: An interview with Russ Hall, Cleveland's next poet

Image
  Today, Cleveland rapper Russ Hall released his fifth album, “Beautiful,” to the masses. After listening to it for a few hours, I have to say this album is sharp. The project features eight songs with guest verses from other local artists like Tell a Tale Vell, Jah Rashid and Sumrr. It was produced by  Epik The Dawn, Ismael Jam, Lebanon Don Beats, BEATSINMYBACKPACK, Juno, Blutop and YSP. With a rich boom bap style and a unique flow that can change at the drop of a dime, I think Hall can be the next big thing out of Cleveland.  With that said, I had to known what it was like making this project so below is a short Q&A I did with the upcoming star from Cleveland. How long have you been working on this album and what was your process making it? 1. I started working on Beautiful at the beginning of May 2020. With everything going on in the world I just wanted to collect my thoughts and put a project together. The process was very simple, I used everything life had thrown...
