Jay Electronica is providing his fans with a glimmer of hope. The enigmatic MC has claimed his debut LP is finally ready to drop after more than a decade of delays.

The New Orleans-bred artist shared his unexpected update on the album in a series of Twitter posts on Thursday night (February 6).

“Album done,” he wrote. “…my debut album featuring Hov man this is highway robbery.”

According to Jay Elec, fans won’t be hearing an album that was recorded years ago either. He says his upcoming LP was created over a 40 day period beginning last December.

“Recorded over 40 days and 40 nights, starting from Dec 26,” he wrote.

The veteran rapper also noted the project would be released in 40 days, which would mean its due out in March.

Jay Elec has declared his album’s release date was imminent before, yet he still hasn’t dropped a project since signing with Roc Nation in 2010. He hasn’t revealed if his upcoming LP has maintained its Act II name or if that title has been scrapped.

Act II was first teased to drop as early as 2007. Jay Elec later suggested the album would drop in 2009 prior to inking a deal with JAY-Z’s label.
