Nov 14, 2020· Part I

Jay Electronica’s Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn) is finally here in its entirety, after a leak led to its official release as it should have been back in 2012, and this kaleidoscopic sonic collage is beautiful and deeply poignant.

In the opening track entitled ‘Real Magic’, the New Orleans MC proposes an optimist notion of appreciating self and life as a first step in overcoming the innumerable difficulties in life — “Sometimes that’s what you need to see yourself/ Break through and free yourself/Accept your own and be yourself/ It’s magic/ The story of life is not tragic/It’s a luxury”. The song interpolates a speech by the late 40th President of the United States of America, Ronald Wilson Reagan citing the late former Prime Minister of colonial power, the United Kingdom — Winston Churchchill, which ironically decentralises capitalism and its subsequent hyper-consumerist and materialist culture. He rightfully posits that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computations”, but rather, that we are more than goods-consuming entities, as we are we are spirits, not animals, with a rendezvous with destiny. Ronald Reagan becomes the mouthpiece to articulate the main theme of the album — existentialism.

“This is the turn, they ain’t ready for prestige yet/ The flow is too collegiate, the show is too prestigious”, raps Electronica reflectively, reminding us with the outmost conviction that his best career years are ahead of him still, even at the ripe age of 44. The first part of the magic trick — The Pledge, came in 2007 in the form of the classic mixtape, “Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge)” which exhibited Jay rapping effortlessly over looped and drumless beats with ‘no hook[s]just new shit’. Four songs repurposed from the score of Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman’s 2004 film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. His producer Just Blaze and his then partner and mother of his daughter Mars, Erykah Badu were singing his praises and reaffirming Electronica’s mythical and mystical existence in the collective conscience.

Jay Electronica Keeps Hip-Hop Heads on Their Heels

Almost every year, there is something about Jay Electronica. He recently popped up on Kanye West’s DONDA with a signature verse. Signature as it is. The performance met the expectation criteria many may have of the Nation of Islam bred rapper. With bars like “As sure as the DOJ confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel,“ it is obvious Elec is set in his school of thought and will never seize an opportunity to express it to the world.

At the top of the pandemic, in March 2020, Jay Electronica released his debut album A Written Testimony. A Written Testimony was a highly anticipated project and probably one of the longest anticipated in hip-hop history. “Finally!,” is the exclamation of an abundance of hip-hop heads who have patiently waited 13 years for the “Ghost of Soulja Slim” emcee. While the album aesthetically and lyrically lived up to the ample amount of expectations, there was one thing about this album that solidified its impact and that is the presence of Jay-Z.

The rap mogul did not appear on just one track. He is featured on eight tracks including “Fruits of the Spirit” and “A.P.I.D.T.A.” Jay is featured on enough tracks to prompt any listener to assume the album was a collaborative effort. A Written Testimony has not been deemed as a collaborative album like Hov’s mash-up with Kanye West, Watch the Throne, however, it convincingly sets the tone of a brotherly affinity. The album was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, giving birth to Elect’s first Grammy nomination.

Aside from A Written Testimony, Electronica has released two additional projects throughout his career. His 2007 debut mixtape, Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), and its leaked 2020 sequel, Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn). Of course, “Exhibit C” the 2009 Just Blaze produced single that refined the landscape hip-hop lyricist, is among six of Electronica’s career singles.

From homeless aspirant to a rap freak of nature, Jay Electronica’s movement in hip-hop has managed to create an eventful experience for observers. As the Coronavirus pandemic heads to a point of normalcy, hip-hop acts are finally heading back to the stage.

On Wednesday, September 15, Jay Electronica will be rocking the stage at Sony Hall in New York City with Harlem’s own Smoke DZA, GRIP, and Statik Selektah. The performance is poised to be an ideal affair for the extreme hip-hop purist. It also comes a day after the unanticipated Verzuz between Fat Joe and Ja Rule which will also take place in New York City. It is pretty obvious, without much effort, New York City is reminding the world of where real rap lives.

If you are in New York City and can follow the guidelines (must be vaccinated to attend), purchase a ticket for the show right over at Sony Hall’s website.

LISTEN BELOW

Where to start with this one. So, after waiting and waiting on new Jay Elec music for years, we now have gotten two full projects in the same year. Over the weekend, the long-awaited project, Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn) reportedly leaked online which then left Jay and his team scrambling to get samples cleared so that the album could officially be released. That finally occurred yesterday afternoon and if I’m not mistaken, right now it’s exclusively on #Tidal. This project was initially talked about back in 2011 when he stated that it was completed, even sharing a track list a year later, but then crickets. Well now we have it and for many, there wasn’t much new here as quite a few of the songs had previously either been released as singles or leaked over the years. I’m not keen on listening to leaks or listening to too many singles when I’m waiting on a complete project so some of it was new for me including this particular track. If you’re familiar with his music, then you know what to expect from this project and aside from “Shiny Suit Theory” being included yet again, it’s put together really well and sends you on an insightful musical journey throughout. Those that complained about the heavy HOV presence on his debut album, A Written Testimony, would be happy to know this one is not as feature heavy with this project feeling more like a solo album.
