Today I bring to you something very special, as in Jay Electronica's music. I've composed a compilation of everything he has ever gotten his hands on music-wise, from solo songs, features, and even a song he's guest produced. Now, if you're not familiar with this man, you will be the time this post is over with.
From the Magnolia Projects in New Orleans, Jay Electronica remains one of the more mysterious figures in music (much less hip-hop). His music entails stories of introspection, tragedy, triumph, and (of course) obligatory bragging. But it's not as much his subject matter as how he says it. With poetic and thought-provoking words not common in hip-hop, Jay Elect contains almost majestic qualities as a songwriter. He is such an enigmatic figure, due to the fact he doesn't release material in the usual means. Having never released any official album, EP, or even mixtape, his music is to obtained through loose tracks released through various media outlets. Because of that, there is no official tracklisting for any release, so bear with my assorting of his songs.
Now, I'm aware that there are multiple compilations of a lot of artists (including Jay Elect), buy I feel that I handled this with more care, dedication, and wherewithal than others. Jay Elect would have the rap game by the throat if he just released Act II (like he said he would the past few years), but I think Jay likes it like that. More elusive than Fran Tarkenton, Jay Electronica's music transcends genre.
After the jump, I include to you the compilation in various forms. I will include the fundamental WEDOITRIGHT: What The F*uck Is A Jay Electronica compilation, The Complete Jay Electronica, and Jay Electronica: The Features. For those who want all the songs in one fell swoop, I will include one download to rule them all [meaning all 60 or so songs]. Enjoy.
