Are you ready to Hot Box, Mr. Electronica?
Let's jump right in. Jay Electronica, signed to Erykah Badu's Control Freaq Records, is best described as Hip Hop's ballon boy:
O U T T H E R E.
With the stale mass produced lunchmeat-style "music" that is being circulated these days, Jay Elect is nothing short of a breath of fresh air. Forward music. Intruiging, to say the least. The New Orleans native is often hard to pinpoint; providing his fans with "secret shows" and scattered myspace pages that tend to disappear and re-appear at his will. He is the Johnny Depp of rap...listen:
Jay is the musical equivalent of Scandanavian Caviar; it's an acquired taste. I leave you with this...the man himself making an appearance at a secret location performing his "Exhibit C" (via MissInfo).
Did I forget to mention that he is the father to Badu's Mars Merkaba, born on February 1, 2009? That, in itself, shoots him into the clouds with the likes of Andre 3000 and Common.
I think we might have something here. This guy is pushing music to new heights. Can he go any higher? Follow him @JayElectronica. Watch out for the, bunny holes, the Mad Hatter and Oompa Loompas...
Who's next?
