This song The Day by Curren$y (featuring Jay Electronica and the mighty Mos Def) isn't new, but it is extremely dope. I never heard it before, but my dude Khalid posted it on Facebook yesterday, and I thought it would be a good song for the early risers... Curren$y - The Day (Ft. Mos Def & Jay Electronica) by WatDaDickens Everybody knows I cuts for Jay Electro and Mos, but Curren$y is a cat who has yet to capture my imagination. Still, a few people who I trust say he's mustard, so you might wanna check into him yourself. Anyways, Click here to cop this track via soundcloud.
Good Morning. Here's A Million in the Morning, by the mighty Jay Electronica, inspired by the documentary of the same name...
A Million in the Morningwas directed by Jason Goldwatch (Team Ice Cream, Ludacris: Red Light District)for DECON Creative Group. Starring Gavin McInnes, who for some reason decides to stay awake for 5 days straight without sleep. I've made the mistake of staying up several days at a time. It took me weeks to recover, and that was when I was a college kid, so I know it would be rough now! Anyways, the film also features music from RJD2, The Death Set, EL-P, Wax Tailor... which may be reason enough to check it out. Click here to cop this movie on Amazon, and Oh yeah: leave the drugs alone, kids! holla!
"Me and Puff, we was chillin' in Miami, he said 'Nigga f*ck the underground, you need to win a grammy, for your mama and your family. They need to see you shined up. You built a mighty high ladder, lemme see you climb up. Nigga, what you scared of? Terrorize these artificial rap niggas and spread love, pollen in their ear buds...'" -Jay Electronica I can't be mad at Jay for name-dropping Puff when he raps, if he's gonna spit dopeness. That's what we got happening on Shiny Suit Theory... oh, and Jay-Z's on there too...
yeah, that's the stuff... I'm right there with everyone else, concerned that Jay Electro may never record an album, but it's 2010, and that's where we're at. Artists release albums that flop because record companies don't quite know how to make fans pay for music. Congratulations! You can have some more free downloads, mixtapes, and remixes, but may hafta wait on that album from your "favorite" rapper. Until then, I'll take the free downloads. So click here to download Shiny Suit Theory, and cross your fingers for that album.
When I got up this morning, the web was on fire with news that GhettoManga Award-Winning emcee Jay Electronica inked a deal with Jay-z's Roc Nation. so I guess Hammer's dissing HIM next...
so anyways, I got this footage off my dude Goldi's blog. For everyone lamenting that Jay shouldn't have signed with... um, Jay... at least this MAY put him closer to dropping his long-awaited debut album... or maybe he will just wind up ghostwriting for Memphis Bleak or something. Who knows? It's not like Jay (Electronica) was in a rush to record, anyways... We know I'm a huge Jay Electronica fan, so I got MY fingers crossed...
