Artist Spotlight: Jay Electronica




Some of yall may know him as erykah badu'ss boyfriend of 4 years but Jay Electronica has always been a gifted writer producer rapper GENIUS...my new favourite rapper as of now Exhibit A down below(produced by Just Blaze






Jay Electronica (Je’Ri Allah) (b. circa 1977) is a rapper and producer known for his use of percussionless film soundtracks as a background for raps, his abstract lyrical style, and his associations with Erykah Badu, Just Blaze and Nas. He produced track one, "Queens Get the Money", on the 2008 Nas album Untitled. The unconventional nature of much of his music, and the lack of conventional release methods for that music, has since 2007 made him the object of much attention. He is perhaps best known for the piece of music Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge).
