Jay Electronica Debuts New Song (Video)

During a show out in Cali the other night, Jay Elect played a portion of new song off that elusive Act II for the audience. One that he said he’s planning to drop on September 19th (his birthday). So by standard Jay Elect times, we should expect it sometime in December.

  3. dope!! thats in a week. better drop.

    in case as any of y’all are wondering, uses the same sample from Pete Rock & CL Smooth’s. “I Got A Love”

  4. “One that he said he’s planning to drop on September 19th (his birthday).” He’ll be dropping it on Election Day 2014.

    We should set that as the over/under. Election Day 2014.

  5. whatever he can say it comes out tomorrow and I could care less at this point til an actual download link shows up

  6. Act 2 was supposed to drop on January 1st. If he says September 19th, he means next June. Nine months later. smh

  7. it was supposed to drop december 2007.

  8. ^ Jan 1st 2008

  9. This shit aint ever coming out. Jay is just gonna let us down again.

  10. that track sounds dope as fuck.

  11. he should throw that track on the scrap. That shit sound sleepy.

    Act II droppin same day as Detox.

  12. September 19th….2013.

  13. That shit sounds sick. Act II is going to be fantastic.

  14. ” i was chillin with puff down in miami, he said fuck the underground we need to get a grammy ” jay elec

  15. I was at this show it was badass!! He even stayed after for hours meeting all the fans. Hope act II drops soon

  16. where’s Exhibit B w/ Nas?

  17. this dude isnt overrated ,is really good

  18. Jay Elect is dope…but in order to stay relevent you need to release new material. He has the potential to be one of those legendary dudes. But again, he needs to release an actual album before that happens.

  19. I wish he operated off of the Gregorian calender insteadof of themuch more obscure Electronian one.
    Anyway I was at this concert and it was pretty sick, the man really knows how to rock a crowd and the music of course was dope. & I actually do think Act II will come out very soon.

  20. Lol watch 6 months from now we’re still gonna be waiting. Hope he proves me wrong though.

  21. Sounds dope

  22. IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPRESSIVE? SERIOUSLY. ONE SONG, A WEEK FROM NOW, I CAN BARELY SEE STRAIGHT. MAYBE BY 2012 WE CAN GET A WHOLE ALBUM?

  23. Jay Elect’s buzz came and went w/o him capitalizing on it. I still wanna hear it, but the excitement isn’t where it once was.

  24. Oh yeah and id be thoroughly surprised if it even drops this year.

  25. ” ME AND PUFF WE WAS CHILLIN IN MIAMI HE SAID NIGGA FUCK THA UNDERGROUND YOU NEED TO WIN A GRAMMY FOR YO MOMMA AND YO FAMILY THEY NEED TO SEE YOU SHINE UP YOU BUILT A MIGHTY HIGH LADDER LET ME SEE YOU CLIMB UP”

  26. I hope it comes out next week, that and OD will make my month!

  27. It’s not dropping September 19th. Get updated. It’s dropping February 31st 11

  28. this guy is so dope its frustrating. to be considered great though, you have to put out shit, and he doesn’t. all the best emcees/groups/artists have actually put out albums, not 2 leaked bangers.
    smarten up jay, you’re too good for your own good.

  29. all the people saying “he needs to put out an album”

    you better BUY the album on September 19th. don’t pirate it you fags, buy the album like a grown man. only children think they should get something without having to pay for it.

  30. he’s putting it out for free, ‘fag’.

  31. me and puff we was chillin in miami
    sayin nigga fuck the underground
    you need to get a grammy
    for your mama and your family
    they need to see you shined up
    you built a mighty high ladder
    lemme set you climb up

  32. Lemme see* you climb up

    e you sound offended. pirates are fags, everyone who works for their paycheck knows that. you can’t fuck with another man’s paycheck and that what piracy is. only fags and children think they should get another person’s hard work for free.

  33. yup

  34. Without the internet jay electronica wouldn’t be an artist of this caliber. People know him as a result of pirating. Besides music = expendable income and most folks these days ain’t got that

  35. wait, where was this in cali?!
    ?!?!

  36. i download music all fucking day. i haven’t paid for a CD since the Black Album. I do not, i repeat, DO NOT give a fuck if i download their music. If it’s good I’ll pay to see them in concert, and if it’s shit then they don’t deserve my money anyways. now everyone go fuck yourselves.

  37. uh oh! he said fuck the underground, when is everyone gonna start hating on him like they do every other artist that goes from unknown to known? (and not just hating him cus he operates in his own time zone)

  38. oh and i have enough expendable income to buy albums or whatever.. but whats the point? its not like i have a cd player like i did in highschool. imma buy their album and just sit it on my desk? no thanks. and fuck paying for a digital copy of anything, thats just stupid.

    like homeboy said.. put out dope music and ill pay to see your show. wen to jcoles and wales, goin to drakes, maybes wiz.

  39. i think act 2 is gonna be an album not a free download you get on this site every week if it comes out september 19th im buying it im from a small town in the south and we dont have any good artist come through to do concerts so i buy albums to show support Jay elect dont need a buzz he surpasses so many rappers spiritually and lyrically

  40. Jay Electronica = God of Hip Hop… nuf said

  41. yup yup!\, where’s the mp3?

  42. In a land before time
    A land before alter boys
    Synagogues and shrines
    When man was in his prime
    Look how far I go in time
    Just to start a rhyme
    They living in sublime
    You get blessed with every line
    Im in touch with every shrine
    From Japan to Dhaka
    The melanated, carbonated,
    Phantom of the chakra
    me and puff we was chillin in miami
    sayin nigga fuck the underground
    you need to win a grammy
    for your mama and your family
    they need to see you shined up
    you built a mighty high ladder
    lemme set you climb up

  43. cosign @BLACK GOD

  44. wait, is this single SUPPOSED to drop on sept. 19th or is Act II itself SUPPOSED to drop then?

  45. In the video he said hes trying for Act II on September 19.

  46. YAAAAAAAAAAAAWN. This guys “ACT” has gotten old.

    TIME waits for NO ONE.

  47. The way I see it, if this jawn really was coming out on September 19th then it woulda leaked by now n da same thing goes for Ski Beatz 24 Hr Karate School which is SUPPOSED to drop on da 21st

  48. well as usual he let his fans down!

  49. FOR THE RECORD IF UR BITCHING ABOUT AN ARTIST NOT RELEASING WHEN YOU WANT. YOU ARE NOT A REAL FAN . LET THAT BOY DO HIS THING.
    STOP COMPLAINING. ALL THE BITCHERS. YOU ARE FAKE FANS, BABIES WHO WANT SHIT ON THEIR TERMS FUCK YOU .

  50. @MichaelDouglas

    It’s not when we want it’s being given dates and being let down every time. First it was Christmas Day ’07, then last Christmas, then New Years and now the 19th has come and gone (though I’m not counting it out since he could be pushing to release it in the early hours of the morning). Why give a date when you can just say “it’s coming soon” and leave it at that? That’s what the fans are getting at. You rarely if ever see J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar dropping dates and not meeting them along with a few other artists.

    Personally I’m not pissed, maybe a lil’ disappointed, but at the end of the day there are millions of other albums I can listen to till it drops but I can understand where some of the fans are coming from. It’s a bit discourteous to let people down again and again when it could be easily avoided regardless of whether you’re putting it off to make the project better.

  51. Jay Electronica is a pretensious fraud. Whatever he drops for sell I’m not buying, even though at one point I said I would.

  52. Jay Electronica = The Tru GOD MC
