Jay Electronica Says His Album is "Done" & That He'll Release it in "40 Days"

“Album done.” Wait, what?

On February 7th, at the stroke of midnight, Jay Electronica announced news fans have been waiting over a decade to hear: his debut album is done.

In a brief tweetstorm, Jay announced that his debut album, A Written Testimony, was recorded over a 40-day, 40-night stretch starting on December 26th. Jay also announced that the album will be released in 40 days (which is March 18th, a Wednesday, an odd day to release a debut album.) Jay also revealed that JAY-Z would be on the album.

Adding some legitimacy to the tweet is the fact that JAY-Z — who doesn’t tweet or interact with tweets much — liked Jay Eleconrica’s series of tweets. JAY-Z, the head of Roc Nation, signed Jay Electronica to the label back in 2010.

Sparoh’s “Panama” Delivers a Powerful Message of Confidence and Creative Freedom

Sparoh is an Atlanta-based artist creating music at the crossroads of melodic trap, alternative pop, and punk-fueled rebellion. Equal parts vulnerable and unapologetic, her work explores identity, liberation, and the complexities of Black womanhood.Raised in the DMV on a foundation of jazz, funk, and blues, Sparoh was drawn early to artists who challenged convention and redefined what was possible. Influenced by trailblazers like Joyce Kennedy,…See More
