Jay Electronica x Act II… (Video)

While Kanye has got the Internets going nuts, Jay Electronica has been residing in London for the past few weeks, working relentlesly in the studio, putting the concluding touches to the highly anticipated debut album, Act II. Jay invited me down to the studio to hear some of the cuts of the album, and although I can’t talk on the specifics, from what I heard, I can say that it is everything you expect times 10. It is a masterpiece, diverse Hip Hop excellence. The guest features that he has pulled out of the bag for the collaborations are pretty much beyond your current comprehension, and the journey making this album is as inspiring as the music itself. He’s done it, followed the code, cracked the safe, got the formula. The wait is almost over. – DJ Semtex

Let’s hope homeslice actually comes through, though. I’d try to get excited but the inner cynic in me doesn’t believe it.

  6. call me crazy, but i’m getting a little lightweight excited. the haters gonna hate, but once he releases this shit…y’all gonna act like you were defending him from the start.

  7. STAGED

  8. There is no way it reach the level of hype I and the media has formed around this album….but if it is as good…..

  9. Why does Kanye have the internet going nuts?

  10. Why does Kanye have the internet going nuts?

  11. Kayne has the internet nuts because his new single dropped

  12. Wait, what’s ye new single?

    Also ACT 2 is now his debut album and not a free tape? Sweet!

  13. I’ve checked some places and i cant find his song you said he dropped.

  14. uhh.. Power?

  15. Power is new? What? That’s not new. I’m think new as in fresh as in brand new as in just popped off today.

  16. enough talkin about it, drop the damn album already

  17. …Well until it does drop, I will keep What The Fuck is a Jay Electronica and various singles on repeat in my music player.

  18. Trust my heart, I love her

  19. if there is a new kanye song can someone put the link uo

  20. Get your pen & pad out folks. My man Jay Electronica is gonna school a lot of emcees with this album.

  21. BEEN READY

  22. I’ve honestly just got psyched all over again for this.

  23. does anything know what happened to DJ semtex’s arm/hand. you can see in this video that he has a fake hand sitting on his leg. just wondering. and jay electronica was either mad high or nervous, seemed to be having trouble in this interview.

  24. What interview does jay not have “trouble” in? Either he’s stammering away, bouncing around, or causing drama with his commentary on hip-hop. His work is pure and that’s all I know.

  25. I hope he’s right this time.

  26. Sounds good!! I really hope he goes in on the Lupe Fiasco collaboration too.

  27. 9 months after original release date. Get the fuck out of here. When it’s available I’ll believe that. Until then…I don’t believe a word of it.

  28. good i cant wait, i dont feel all of his songs but judging from his lyrics the guy is good, and is fully capable. with that said…im a fan

  29. Dude’s severly ovverated. Dont get it twisted hes great but people talk like hes the savior of the modern world. People hyped up Exhibit C to the point i didnt wanna hear a damn thing about that track again. No disrespect

  30. Act II… now his debut album???

  31. buuuuuuuuullllllll shiiiiiiiiiiiiitttt

  32. This shit is gonna be dope as fuck. His only mistake this whole time has been NOT keeping his mouth shut about it. It takes time to craft work, but don’t tell people it’s gonna be ready at X date when it’s not.

    But all the fucking complainers will be saying how nice shit is when it IS out. Fucking fairweather fans.

  33. the reason its been delayed is because it was originally just gonna be a mixtape. but now it’s his actual debut album…

    “Don’t wanna brick!” – Dame Dash

  34. Bucknasty, you ain’t lying there at all…

  35. It’s coming & it’ll be worth it.

  36. So it is an album, that’s what I thought all along but people been talking about a mixtape.
    I thought it was fucked up to work on a mixtape for years.

  37. @A.I.

    i know, it’s unfortunate, but let them hate. and at people who’s saying he’s overrated…if anything Exhibit C is overrated imho. it’s a dope song, but it’s definitely not his best. dig deeper, y’all

  38. Can’t wait for Jay Elec’s album. I have a feeling it’s gonna be classic.

  39. i thought Act II was gon be for free & ACt III was gon be the album…… whatever, long as he actually delivars doesn’t make a difference i guess. with the date bein just a month away & not puttin ne thin out from it i doubt it tho

  40. I got so much love for him and Blu. Im anxious as the next man (although I’m a lady) for his album to drop. He’s worth the wait. In the mean time I’ll keep rocking to his classics. DC has love for you Jay!!! I’m hoping to hear Act II and the rest of “Dear Moleskine” soon :-)

  41. depressing audience.

  42. man hagler demo is his best shit he’s done IMHO….i like posers too…
    like gayboy said; “i’ll believe it when it’s in my itunes”
