Over the course of the next half-hour, he continued to spit over largely percussionless beats that frequently faded to allow him to showcase his acapella skills, and while Black Star put on one hell of a show, I couldn’t stop thinking about his performance when I left the venue and headed back to campus. I can’t say I’d ever been particularly captivated by any of the other acts I’d been subjected to at concerts while waiting for the one I’d come, but there was just something differentnt about this dude. This included some guy who went by the name of Jay Electronica, who announced his arrival by bursting onto the stage after the “Price Is Right” theme kicked in before proceeding to rap over it. When the doors opened, I managed to secure a spot in the front row (as someone who stands at 6’10”, this was admittedly the dictionary definition of a “dick move,” but in my defense, I remained as slouched over as possible during the entirety of the concert in an attempt to atone for my sin).īefore being treated to the main event, I had to sit through a couple of openers I’d never heard of. The show took place at House of Blues in Boston, where I arrived a couple of hours early to post up as close to the stage as possible. The duo dubbed “Black Star” had released a legendary album of the same name around a decade prior and I wasn’t going to let the whole “lack of friends” thing get in the way of seeing the two artists behind one of my favorite hip-hop records of all time. I can, on the other hand, understand why people would look at you strangely for attending a concert alone, which is how I kicked off my freshman year of college when I bought a single ticket to see Mos Def and Talib Kweli. Side note: although 2020 has been such a crazy year due to the coronavirus, there’s at least one positive spin to it all: Jay dropped two albums in less than a year, which I believe makes up for the many features he’s dropped every now and then, despite no album dropped in nearly a decade.Ĭlick the link in the tweet to access the album.Back when movie theaters were still a thing, there was a fairly inexplicable stigma surrounding the act of going to see something by yourself, as many members of the general public seemed to think sitting in a dark room next to people you know and not talking to them for hours on end was somehow the ultimate social activity. Thanks to HipHopDX for the screenshots since the tweets got deleted – just like many of the ones Jay took down from 2012. It took a long while for the fans to get to this point, even Jay admitted that he had to get the samples cleared in order for it to be officially released. This was right after the JAY Z x Kanye West collab Magna Carta Holy Grail dropped.

This release comes close to nearly seven months after the release of A Written Testimony. But it also comes after an 8-year announcement, with an album supposedly finished with only six songs, then him releasing an official tracklist – which then turns into it being in the “last stages of recording,” according to longtime collaborator The Bullitts. The reason why the word ‘official’ is used is because Sunday morning, the elusive MC became the popular topic on twitter, with the discussion being that the album fans were waiting for – was leaked on the internet to stream on YouTube. On Monday, Jay Electronica surprisingly drops the official Just Blaze-collaborative album fans were waiting for on TIDAL. J A Y E L E C T R O N I C A October 5, 2020
