“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.
