Jay-Z Speaks on Jay Electronica's Album

Jay Electronica has been in the game for a while now, mostly underground, but he is yet to drop a full length album. He signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation label in November 2010, and his fans have been waiting on his debut album since then. I think he is raw and i would like Jay's backing of some real root hip hop. I think Jay Electronica's album, and the Jay-Z co-sign of it would really be great for the current atmosphere in Hip Hop.



Read what Jay-Z said about the album in a recent interview below-

During the interview, Hov said that he fully supports Jay Elec and that the album is “really close.” “I love that, I want to support that sort of energy. I want people to be creative and not traditional, not just a single [at] this time, this time [and] this time," he said. "You know, he operates at his own time, but the album is really close.”




He praised the project for its unconventional sound, and explained how his abilities are almost “scary.”




“It's exactly what it should be — it's amazing. Him as a lyricist is almost scary. He's scary good," he continued. "I'm doing something to it that's really untraditional, so we'll see how it works."
