Jay Electronica’s interest in making music has reached an all-time low. It’s so low in fact that he’s resorted to starring in car commercials rather than finally finishing off Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn).
In coordination with Toyota and friend/director Jason Goldwatch, Jay Elec acts as himself in the Japanese car company’s #MusicInMotion video. He’s accompanied by a painter who’s throwing large dollops of paint onto speakers that Jay’s mute rhymes make move into creating a large portrait of himself. While we would rather hear his actual rhymes come through our speakers, it’s at least nice to see him putting out something.
Alexander Spit handles the instrumentals for the commercial clocking in at just over three minutes. Jay Electronica recently alluded to the fact that he contemplated deleting Act II rather than drop it. A supposed tracklisting for the project was revealed in 2012, however it’s never been officially released.

How does this dude even get the opportunity to be in a commercial? This dude is a freemason, because there is no other way you can not drop any kind of music for the bettwr part of 8 years and still somehow have money, have relevance to star in car commercials, or even stay signed to a label. Like who in the fuck is this dude?
He is 2nd in command for the eastern district of the “Order”. I just made that shit up but what I made up could be true cause your right 8 years absolutely nothing pops up in random interviews with Erykah was homeless prior to music but pretending to be an actual bum going on a asia/european tour but doesnt have music to play on the tour cause he doesnt make new music but still manages to have ppl book him. GO FIGURE. He is able to lock in mountain dew commercial and now a toyota commercial.
