“In the current state of music, an artist like Jay (Electronica) deserves the attention of anyone who even THINKS they like Hip-Hop. We’re not saying that he’s the savior but he’s been working on the humble for years and Exhibit C opened him up to the world. World, meet Jay Electronica…support his victory for Hip-Hop.” – DJ DUB
“I truly believe that everyman has a story and Jay Electronica’s story is definitely the current soundtrack to Hip-Hop. He makes the impossible seem possible. Dub and I wanted to share his soundtrack with those that were unfamiliar. Let’s welcome back the lyricists to Hip- Hop.” – DJ FURIOUS STYLES. Shouts to NahRight.

Video: Just Blaze Speaks On Jay Electronica
So Red got the opportunity to chop it up with Just Blaze real quick on working with Jay Electronica. Unfortunately due to background noise it’s kind of tough to hear. Just discusses how it’s difficult to lock Jay down because he’s such a free spirit. I mean Jay Electronica is the only rapper I know of going on spiritual retreats to the Pashputinath Hindu Temple and The Bodinath Buddhist Temple in Kathmandu Nepal.
The good news is that Just informed us “Exhibit A” was made with Jay in just one night, and now that Jay Electronica has a label situation he appears to be much more focused. Just says the next big challenge is getting the album finished.
While details of the deal are still being figure out, I’m going to go ahead and guess that he’s signing with Decon based on the fact Decon is selling “Exhibit A” on itunes, and that Decon’s Jason Goldwatch filmed Jay’s little escapade in Nepal. If Just Blaze is producing the whole album, then it will most likely be fire.

There are no words… but this is where anticipation turns into the most fucked up tease ever. Jay Electronica is making some furtive power moves outside the public’s eye. In the words of Declaime: Astormsacomin.
