Jay Electronica emerges from the mist that surrounds his mysterious career with a brand new song called “Letter to Fanon.” It’s produced by Paul Epworth and features The Bullitts, who Jay has done more than couple excellent songs with through the years. Listen to it below on Tidal. Even if you aren’t a member, you can still hear it.



album soon...

had a new Hov verse?
Wasn't that the Just Blaze beat with the long video of him in a foreign country?

I thought the only Elec and Hov joints we had
were
Shiny Suit Theory and We Made It

I don't generally stan for artists, especially before they blow, but I really thought Jay was the truth.

Just so disappointing all the way around.

"10 years?!?!? Man, this motherfucker ain't Sade!!"

LOL. That's on point though. I wonder who said it. It's hilarious how many "long-awaited" albums have arrived while we've been waiting for Jay Electronica to drop ANYTHING MORE THAN 1 SONG:

- Dr Dre's album (wasnt "Detox" but still)
- D'Angelo's album
- fucking Guns n Roses even dropped their album
- we even got a fuckin ATCQ album

I don't even know who besides Jay we're still "waiting on"
2993046, Andre 3000/Outkast & Lauryn Hill r the only 1s who come 2 mind

...for us to even be waiting at all.

Not sure why he's even in the conversation with these other artists who have at least proven themselves.

I have theories involving internet culture and the decline of actual talent and genuine expression that contribute to this sort of thing, but I'll keep it to myself. Old man yells at cloud, and such.

That this was a diss track aimed at Jimmy Fallon for highjacking his favorite band.
