In an interview with XXLMag.com posted yesterday morning, New Orleans emcee Jay Electronica revealed that after working with Just Blaze and Hi-Tek already, the album-less emcee has been taking beat submissions and sharing studio time with several Rap veterans.
Included on the list is legendary Gang Starr producer DJ Premier, who’s worked with the likes of Bun B, Joell Ortiz and Kanye West this year. Self-Scientific’s DJ Khalil, an Aftermath producer, was also mentioned as well as Swizz Beatz and Florida-based Rick Ross hitmen, The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. Jay, who was long believed to have been signed to Decon Records, but since declared his free agency, told XXL that he’s been both in the studio with some of these producers, but that there have also been satelite sessions.
The Diddy-cosigned emcee spoke about tenative plans for his debut album to the Rap magazine, including video, which can be read and viewed here.
jay electronica on dj premier will be song of the year
does jay electronica works with lil wayne!?
if he wanna sell that should be the topic not working with some fake ass producers…..
u know who the goat is…
lil wayne is trash
you must live on some bizarro world where he’s good or something!! hahha
i heard on the radio that young money was begging just blaze for some beats after they heard jay electronica’s ‘exhibit c’
hahahahahah i hope just blaze doesnt give em shit!!!
lil gayne screws his producers over royalties so he can afford his male strippers!!
LIL WAYNE = GAYEST OF ALL TIME!!!
LIL WAYNE = GAYEST OF ALL TIME
NOLA ONLY HAS ONE GOOD MC AND THATS JAY ELECTRONICA!!
BITCHES!!
hahah yea niggas LIL WAYNE IS BULLSHITTTT!!|!
jay is gonna make a classic album..no doubt
Hold up… Jay Electronica MIGHT do an album??
Holy shit.. That made my day.
Nice to hear he is working with Premier.. I dunno though, people talk about this dude like he is the second coming, I don’t really understand the hype…
He IS the 2nd coming.
3rd
yo Jedi420…you deaf or something? Or is your brand of ‘hip hop’ Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne or something? Matter fact, stick to that, don’t worry about Jay Electra, his huge fanbase (I, included) can do without your likes who don’t know real hip hop and know how to seperate a gifted MC from the regulars.
So basically, I said that to say this…..
Fuck you and your ability to understand the hype on Jay Electronica.
@ SEAN W
UR AN ASSHOLE. THE GUY HAS AN OPINION AND U SHIT ON HIM. UR THE REASON Y HIP-HOP IS FUCKED UP!!!
…on another note, cant wait 4 the album 2 drop!!!!
@ Sean W
Right, so just because I’m not frothing at the mouth like some pea brained retard such as yourself over a dude that has 1 good song and no albums released, must mean I like Lil Wayne and Gucci… nice logic dum dum..
“Working”, bout time.
yessir
Fuck the south!! Cough medicine drinking, gold teeth wearing coons. Jay e gets a pass tho
yall act like the south all the same, cut that bullshit out,every region got garbage, how many niggas ran around ny fuckin the game up B4 the south blew? keep it real wit yourself…i rather hear T.I. over jim jomes anyday,bullshit is bullshit, regardless of place, so is lyricism, stop letting the media fool u! nobody called ODB OR RZA coons 4 the gold teeth.
i dont wanna see another jay electronica interview till he got an album title and drop date.
enough talkin nigga, drop records.
i blame the bloggers for gassing up every little thing that comes out of his mouth.
you in the lab huh? thats nice. drop a fuckin record then.
this nigga getting lapped by his peers, cuz they droppin albums, mixtapes.
this nigga still milkin exhibit c.
step your work ethic up. nigga turnin into joe budden, gotta comment for everything with no records to back up the talkin.
im waitin.
i agree 100%…kinda sick of all these mixtapes shit takin up too much space on my harddrive for a few hot tracks….niggas need to go back to the old formula…drop 1 mixtape leading up to your album release….niggas wastin bars over used beats.
co-sign
I’ve been saying this about Jay Electronica…Where was he before that Exhibit C even touched down for an explosion? He was no where to be found until that dropped and it seems like that’s all he has to offer. People keep gassin’ this dude up when he’s just another clone of Killah Priest. If people like Jay Electronica then they need to stop sleeping on Killah Priest for so damn long because if I wanted to listen to Jay Electronica then I’d go listen to Killah Priest instead because he’s no different than Killah Priest. The only difference is Jay Electronica is getting more hype and publicity off of a style that Killah Priest has been using his entire career that people unfortunately continue to sleep on. People need to wake the fuck up and start listening to music and quit acting like they’ve never heard a style like Jay Electronica’s before.
booosss get ready for the haters, you just fucked around and said some real shit.
its a shame.
niggas act like jay electronica is the best lyricist out, when niggs like killah priest have 10 times the catalog and been doin it way longer.
bloggers are so quick to hype and destroy new talent. i remember when lupe was buzzin, where is that buzz now? lupe still nice, fuck did it go? oh yeah, they jumped on the new flavor.
i dont see canibus gettin gassed.
i dont see KP gettin gassed.
i dont see gza gettin gassed.
i dont see INSpectah deck gettin gassed.
these niggas will BODY jay electronica in 2010, but you wont be hearing that from the bloggers.
jay is talented, im a fan, but hes the definition of GASSED. more interviews than tracks, standing next to whoevers hot, he feelin himself. drop an album, because if you want props in the game, you should have a body of work that speaks for you. you shouldnt have to get your message across in a barrage of internet interviews. game is a mess.
it doesnt help that when he does speak up in interviews, hes sayin some thick headed shit. dissing slay, dissin NY, why? just drop records duke, hes shooting himself in the foot like mr. joey buddens.
where the fuck did saigon buzz go? saigon had/has the potential to be THAT nigga, street appeal, conscious appeal, look at the timeline. sai is still lethal, why arent the bloggers giving him any steam? i also think its corny how just blaze goes from not ever doin shit for saigon, and now hes drivin the jay electronica hype train. i remember when bloggers were ridin saigiddy, now its jays turn. just blaze is a dope producer, but hes a fuckin corn ball. peep his twitter, hes a hyper sensitive nerd with a bitch attitude.
disposable arts. masta ace wasnt lying, fast food nation consumes quick and shits it all out.
i wanna see jay succeed, but hes not making any moves, he needs some stronger management.
realness goin on here fuck the haters do ya thang jay excibit a/c were beast homie
FUCC THIS NIGGA, STIKK TO THE JAY ROCC & NIPSEY HUSSLE NIGGAS
LIL EAZY-E – PRINCE OF COMPTON FINALLY DROPPING THIS YEAR, I GREW UP FEW BLOCKS FROM THAT NIGGA
So that must mean that you have some sort of street cred because you grew up around the block from “lil eazy-e”. If that is your claim to fame, there is a lot more to life and I feel sorry for you. But I’m not hating on the west just the boring shit that people put on here.
New – Jay Electronica – “Hold It Down” produced by Dj Premier
youtube.com/watch?v=56Yhz3Y7dlg
SPAM SPAM SPAM
fuck! this is hot news! Jay Electronica is like Nas of our time! And he is working with DJ Premier!
they better have the album this year, or the buzz will fade,
Jay is like 1-2 years younger than Nas so he’s Jay from Nas’ time, LOL. Jay E is 34.
I just hope he will know how to choose beats from Swizz because 90% of his productions are trash. Just listen to the song Ultra from Jay if you don’t know what i’m talkin about… SMH
Then dont listen to it. dummy SMH at you stupid
Dude chill out, i was just giving my opinion
Swizz is only good for producing when he samples. His instrumentation on beats ain’t all that great.
just get that damn album out already
hell yeah Jay Electronica thats good news! FUCK THE SOUTH!!! except for this fool, he’s keepin it real!
sayin fuck the south is disrespect, they got wack rppers just like uptop but what do u consider SCAFACE T.I.? 8BALL N MJG ? SHALL I CONTINUE? Quit being so close minded…
Where the fck is Act II, that shit is late by like 6 months lol

(great move)
Premier is from Texas… So he is Doc Dre SOUTH!
there best be like acouple of songs with nasty… after all jay elec is nas protege
UUUUUUUM, No he’s not. Nas likes him and all but he isnt his protege’
Jay E. needs to just drop a damn album. All of this breaking news on who he might work with is b.s. I guess these Exhibits are his underground type “single” but damn, you not even close to being done on the album…he should get on that Lupe tip (pause)…do your mixtape and have your album ready. Dont be leaking who all you gonna work with. Have some mystery about the album.
I agree I’ve been waiting since I first heard Exhibit A (which was the first time I ever heard Jay Elec)
I can’t wait til he drop something
I strongly recommend ______ B l a c k W h i t e D a t e * C o m ______ to you where I just found my interracial boyfriend! You know it is a great place to meet black men and beautiful women. What’s kind of relationship do you want?
