Jay Electronica still hasn’t dropped his debut album, but that’s not stopping him from hitting the road for some shows. The Roc Nation artist has announced an eight-city tour scheduled to begin in February.
“To quote the great PARTYNEXTDOOR… Come and see meeee for once,” he wrote as the caption to his Instagram post of the tour flyer on Tuesday (January 23).
Electronica will kick things off at Park West in Chicago, Illinois on February 1. The tour is scheduled to conclude on March 10 at the 2018 Buku Music + Art Project in his hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana.
The elusive MC has frustrated fans by not releasing the highly anticipated Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn) LP for years now. Electronica originally claimed the project would drop on Christmas Day 2009 before eventually settling on a September 2010 release date. That plan came and went with no album, but new hope emerged when JAY-Z signed Electronica to Roc Nation that same year.
In subsequent years, updates have been few and far between with Electronica occasionally releasing new songs. In 2017, JAY-Z publicly told his artist to put out the long-awaited album to no avail.
Electronica’s latest musical release, a single titled “Letter To Falon,” dropped in June 2017.
Fuck this dude yo lazy
Performing the same album for 10 years.
Going to the Santa Ana concert GEAHH
Toronto
I was gon say boycott his ass cuz itz been so many years & he ain’t drop an album yet…. But who am I kidding! Ima be at Danforth Music Hall ina few weeks to see an iLL Lyricist put on a show
Until this dude puts an album out, I’m not interested. No way I would go see this dude perform nothing but eight and ten year old songs.
To me, this guy is the biggest waste of potential in the history of hip hop
Best rapper ever without an album. Only King HOV can sign a genius MC like Jay Electronica. All your broke Nas stans, remember, he wrote the entire Untitled album for Nas, so you gotta thank him for that. It’s the ROC!
The Untitled album sucked !
Jay Electronica is probably the biggest fraud in this industry along side Rick Ross and Rif Raf
Wait, how many songs does he even have?
maybe Control and 1 Train too? Good life.
How is he touring? He has 5 songs.
these little club appearances is called a tour get your brother cant knock the hustle you don’t need a new album to do what he doing
You don’t need an album to do shows. A real MC can rock a show with no pre-determined set. You can drop verses the crowd hasn’t heard, you can freestyle, you can spit over other rappers beats and let your DJ flex a little. With all that said…son…drop an album. This is a classic case of a guy who gets cold feet in the studio. I think a lot of the older artists have developed that fear in the social media age cause everything is over-scrutinized. But you gotta trust your talent and ignore what these nerds say about your music. Peace.
i always thought act ii to be the disappearance…. and act three, “the hardest part” the prestige. anybody else? it all falls in line movie explanation and what i thought hed do all along, just not this long!
Who tha Fucc is this dude anyway
Mr. Irrelevant
The man’s too old to rap. Also too black.
Prime fucking example of when you take yourself too seriously and let everyone gas you up. Buzz is almost non-existent. People mention 3000 but seem to leave out he been dropping fire for over 20 years.
3000 is top 5 right now and he have no dropped an album in years. This clown Jay is scared to drop his album because he know it will be his first and last.
Jay Elec got classic verses and more so content that outweigh this generations top rappers whole catalogues. Real talk he 1 of the last strands of black magik
Does it look like he need an album. Does anybody do albums aside fron a handfull of cats. Letter to Fallon is weight. Ya bugged
Hes up to date on his predictions and his train is on schedule. His rhetoric may be to strident for yall microwavable palettes
His Fuckin’ Schizophrenia is typin’ for him now

Lastly JAY Elect putting out a positive message that resonates wit the few that still hold hip hop to be a culture of integrity
