Noname is back with a new album titled Sundial. With 11 tracks featuring Common, Jimetta Rose, Ayoni and others, the Chicago emcee is back in a major way. One of the standouts on the album is her collaboration with Jay Electronica and Eryn Allen Kane titled “Balloons.”
Westside Gunn put his foot in Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Side B and served us another batch of dopeness. Of the collection of songs, his collaboration with Jay Electronica is a certain highlight. Here’s “Free Kutter.”
IDK brings together MF Doom, Jay Electronica and Westside Gunn for the absolute banger “Red” off of his USEE4YOURSELF album. It’s one hell of a combination.
It only took a decade for us to get a Jay Electronica album. But A Written Testimony is finally here with eight of the ten songs on the album featuring Jay-Z. At a total combined age of 93, the duo proves that age is nothing but a number as they deliver quality bars over banging production. One of the standouts is “Flux Capacitor” as Jay-Z addresses his relationship with the NFL and Jay Electronica just goes ape.
The elusive Jay Electronica joins forces with Dave East and 070 Phi for “No Hoodie (Nothin’ To Lose).”

That folder that MF DOOM sent to Adult Swim is the gift that keeps giving as the next joint that drops is from a forthcoming KMD album Crack In Time that features DOOM and Jay Electronica titled “True Lightyears.”
Jay Electronica songs are scarce. For reasons unknown to most, we still don’t have an album. But Kevin Durant urged Jay Elec to drop new music and when one of the best NBA players around makes a suggestion, you do it. With that comes “Letter To Fallon.” Enjoy and don’t hold your breath for any new music anytime soon.
Jay Electronica drops a new joint “The Curse Of Mayweather” and proceeds to fire shots at both Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent. The former he goes at in defense that some people believe Kendrick is better because of his Grammy nods. Or, he could still be bitter from the “Control” verse. The latter he calls a “cockroach.”
The highly anticipated and long overdue Jay Electronica album has been lingering long in the minds of hip hop heads everywhere who have been awaiting a full body of work from the emcee. However, during a performance in NYC for CMJ, Jay Elec said the following…
“I was just backstage talking about that with [Jason] Goldwatch. We were talking about the delete button.”
Wait, what? After all this time? He could be teasing us but you never know with Jay Electronica. With the project being so old, perhaps he’s wanting to scrap all the older material in favor of something new.
Is it RIP Act II?
We’ll just have to wait and see.
