Who would've thought a couple of years ago that Jay Electronica would be in the position that he's currently in? Originally hailing from New Orleans (admittedly not the mecca of complex, thoughtful lyricism in hip-hop music), Jay Elec has defied and broken any last stereotype of the typically predictable, under-lyrical, over-swaggerred Southern rapper by dropping a couple of interesting tracks and projects over the past 2 years, most notably "Act I - Eternal Sunshine" and even producing Nas' incredible intro "Queens Get The Money", from his Untitled album.
