Jay Electronica

Kanye said release dates are played out, but Jay Electronica has been dropping unexpectedly like bird shit for years now. He continues his tradition with "Road To Perdition," a title eager fans might recognize from a track list for Act II, leaked years ago.  Over triumphant mid-tempo production, Ronald Reagan introduces the people's champion who emerges in shining armor. It's the nothing-from-something, greatest-story-ever-told braggadocio narrative that Jay has mastered like no other. It's cinematic, biblical, and gutter.  The Farrakhan of Rap is currently in the middle of a European run, which he'll follow with his first China tour. Is The-Album-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named finally seeing the light of day?
