A Newly Surfaced Jay Electronica Song Revisits His Time With Erykah Badu
BY JACOB "34" KOERTGE • JULY 7, 2019
Jay Electronica’s first foray into Hip-Hop’s collective eye came twelve years ago in 2007 with his first project, Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), in which Jay spits for fifteen minutes over music woven from the score to the 2004 film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Three years later, in 2010, Electronica signed with JAY-Z’s label, Roc Nation, with promises of releasing his debut studio album, Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn).
To this day, Jay Electronica has yet to release his first Roc Nation project, despite teasing songs with JAY-Z, P Diddy, Prodigy, J. Cole, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Vince Staples, and Common. In the same time, Jay has made multiple false announcements of the album’s completion and forthcoming release on Twitter. All have since been deleted. Most recently, Jay made a cryptic, now removed tweet in 2016 that read, “To all those who have been patient with me and supported me over the years, thank you. And get #Tidal#AreYouWatchingClosely?”
