If you don't know the man this post is based on I wouldn't be surprised. Jay Electronica isn't heavily mainstream nor is he overly saturated *cough*(Drake). He is probably the most heavily cosigned lyricist/producer that isn't named Kanye West. He has, like a ghost, come in without being seen and haunted the game with his deathly ill lyrics and eerily melodic beats. And Jay Electronica is still probably the most underrated new MCs in Hip Hop today. Another credit to his name is his diversity. He has rapped on songs with Mos Def and produced tracks for Diddy. I could go on for days about how refreshing it is to see a rapper to caliber of Jay Electronica. He is the new class of underground excellence in the footsteps of Common, Little Brother, Mos, and Talib Kweli. The amazing thing about it is that is only half his talent. His has produced for Diddy's most recent work and for Nas. His style of production is a more vintage style. With the use of movies scores and unorthodox beats (sometimes without percussion). He is on the come up and he is easily one of the best rappers out. He is also guy who seems to be on his grind and just so happens he is married to Erykah Badu... enough said. ENJOI!

Great post! Oh just fyi he hasn't officially released a mixtape. That's more of a "fan tribute" for lack of a better description.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot man.. I always figured it was more of a compelation of songs he did over time rather than a complete worked out mixtape. Which I am hoping he actually releases. Thanks for the support!!
