According to Jay Electronica, his long delayed album Act II: Patents of Nobility is finished and will be turned in tomorrow. Jay signed a new deal with Roc Nation in November 2010 but since then, there has been no sign of the much awaited LP. Let’s hope the fortune changes this year.
In the second episode of Red Bull’s viral series ‘The Producers‘, one of the people who has been working closely with Jay Electronica over the past few years, Jeymes Samuel of The Bullitts, shares his thoughts on why he’s so great.
About 13 hours after finally releasing his anticipated track ‘Call Of Duty (Modern Warfare 3)’ featuring Mobb Deep, Jay Elect has expressed his thoughts on the reaction to the record, on his Tumblr. According to him, the song will not appear on his forthcoming album Act II: Patents of Nobility. Well, that’s good news.
i wouldn’t have believed it myself if i hadn’t experienced it.
within just 24 hours, i wrote a record to give away online, summoned the legendary Infamous Mobb Deep via out of the blue tweets and we released a record together. I became a trending topic Worldwide within 3 minutes of its release and actually penetrated radio. Just heard the news that the Great Zane Lowe will premiere the record in the United Kingdom tonight as ‘The Hottest Record In The World”.
All of the above is attempted daily by major music corporations who have teams of ppl spending excessive amounts of money and still fall short of the goal. My methodology is apparently much better.
i’d like to take this time to quote my mom …”thats pretty damn good son!”
i guess it is.
and this isn’t even a single.
or even a song from my album.
its just a dope ass beat, with some (extra) dope rhymes from me and 2 of My favorite hip hop artists of all time, who woke up yesterday not even knowing they’d be on a record with me a few hours later.
Look at the atmosphere all in a stir.
if i were a younger me, right now is probably where i would say, “dog, look around. I’m The Fucking Man”
good thing I’m striving to grow.
i wouldn’t have believed it myself if i hadn’t experienced it.
After a long wait, Electronica gives us some brand new music. The Roc signee recruits the legendary Mobb Deep to deliver this single off Act III. Was this worth the wait and hype?
Jay Electronica finally decides to hit us with some new music. Only some rough demos that won’t be appearing on Act II: Patent Of Nobility (The Turn) but sounds like some fire nonetheless.
Jay Electronica is the bigger name, but Jeymes Samuel of The Bullitts joined him to sit down with Soul Culture and speak about a few things including their similarities in making music, performing together, and more.
A few weeks back at The Big Chill festival in Herefordshire, England, The Bullitts hit the stage with Luci Liu and Idris Elba. Around the 4:20 mark, Jay Electronica hits the stage and spits a new verse.
Incase you missed them, they performed ‘Close Your Eyes’ on Radio 1′s Live Lounge and The Bullitts and Jay Electronica’s official video for ‘Run and Hide’ is after the jump.
Jay Electronica takes us on a journey through his eyes in this mysterious first person video that was released 2 days ago.
Also, the other people featured in the video are B+ (of Mochilla and Rap Pages fame), Eric Coleman (also of Mochilla), Quantic (DJ/Producer) and Sasha Ali (writer).
The Bullitts, Lucy Liu and Jay Electronica recently gave a live rendition of “Close Your Eyes” on Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 show. The UK band also performed “Landspeeder“. Open your eyes and check it out.
A few hours ago at the Science Of Speech concert with Rakim, De La Soul and Blackstar in London, Talib Kweli & Mos Def brought out Jay Electronica to perform. (HHC)
Lil B confirms to MTV that he and Jay E are working on an EP together. Tell me this a joke.lol.
“If you listen to Jay Electronica’s first mixtape that he had ‘Exhibit C’ on, and if you really listen to him, there’s a lot of stuff that I feel in my heart are similarities,” B said. “You know, like, subject matter. It’s another level that we’re in tune on, because we’re here for the positivity and to make a change. This project with Jay is gonna be very spiritual, very uplifting, very deep,” he said. “It will be historical.”
This Decon produced and Jason Goldwatch directed video was shot in Kathmandu, Nepal in 2009 but never saw the light of day due to Jay E not approving it.
