JAY ELECTRONICA


WHO SAID THERE WASN'T GOOD MUSIC FROM THE NO
So who exactly is this guy? An underground sensation by the name of Jay Electronica, who, as evidenced by the foreword on The Pledge, has made friends with some of the right people in Hip Hop. Romantically he’s linked to Erykah Badu (who has quite the penchant for attracting some of Hip Hop’s more creative gentlemen), and is close personal friends with Just Blaze. How special is he? Special enough that he can have the first six and a half minutes of this sixteen minute project reserved for his friends to just gush about him. And gush they do. Just Blaze calls him, alluding to and dismissing the cliché with all seriousness, a “brother from another mother,” while Erykah accurately describes him as a mythical otherworldly being who would “carry a bow and arrow on his back.” Not much else is known or published about Jay (try Googling him, there’s one article), but he comes from New Orleans and spent some time being homeless. Contrary to his geographical roots, the sound of the project sounds nothing like the traditional Southern sound.
