Before signing to Jay-Z's Roc Nation, Jay Electronica was a man of mystery. Known almost as an urban legend, he released sporadic songs and only started to gain notoriety in 2007, when he put up songs showcasing his genius on his MySpace page. Throughout the next three years, the rapper released original works of music that some labeled bizarre and way before their time. Being labeled the next big thing and being co-signed by the likes of Jay-Z and Diddy paid dividends for this New Orleans-born emcee. Roc Nation became the grand prize winner by landing him. Jay Electronica's debut album is supposed to be released sometime in 2011 but with Jay Electronica, you never know what you're going to get... or not get. "What The F*ck Is A Jay Electronica" is a compilation of early and unreleased recordings. The brilliance that is Jay Electronica is just beginning... and with Roc Nation behind him, who knows how far he will go. |
