Jay Electronica Career

In 2007, Jay Electronica released his first mixtape, Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), via MySpace. It was downloaded over 50,000 times. That success and his catalog led to Electronica joining the Rock the Bells Tour in 2008.

Later that year, producer Just Blaze and Jay Electronica selected songs for Guitar Center's GAIN project, Fresh Cuts Vol. 3 and included a (previously unnamed) song which Just Blaze named "Exhibit A (Transformations)."

Just Blaze would later (October 27, 2009) debut "Exhibit C" on Tony Touch's Sirius Radio program, where it quickly caught on, making its way to terrestrial radio stations like New York's Hot 97 and spawning artist remixes from MCs AZ, N.O.R.E, Saigon, Joell Ortiz and others.

A bidding war ensued with Jay finally signing (November 12, 2010) with Roc Nation. Though fans and critics anticipated a full-length debut, Electronica's output in the subsequent decade consisted of several collaborations and non-album solo songs.

On February 7, 2020, Jay Electronica announced via Twitter the completion of his album, A Written Testimony, which was recorded over a 40-day period. It was released on March 13, 2020.

On October 5, 2020, Jay Electronica announced via Twitter that his previously unreleased album, Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn), was available for streaming on Tidal after the album had surfaced online two days prior.

In August 2021, Jay Electronica was featured on the song "Jesus Lord" released on Kanye West's album Donda.

'Control' by Kendrick Lamar is a new A Rap God

www.mtv.com, January 13, 2023
Welcome to New Retro Week, a celebration of pop's most influential artists, hits, and cultural events that made 2013 a seminal year. MTV News is looking forward to see what lies ahead: These essays reveal how today's blueprint was developed a decade ago. We've arrived at our time machine. Audiences were taken aback when Kendrick Lamar's commentary on Big Sean's "Control" ten years ago, a track intended for the Detroit rapper's 2013 sophomore record Hall of Fame — stunned at Lamar's blend of lyrical bravado and exhilarating vigor. Just a year ago, Lamar's second studio album, Good Kid, m.A.D. City, established him as one of the most gifted emcees in the history of the genre. It was also his first major-label debut.
