I'll never forget the day I heard Jay Electronica for the first time. Riding around on a beautiful summer day in new york city listening to Hot 97, when all of a sudden I hear the blaring horns and DJ Enuff shout out that he had a radio premiere from the infamous Jay Electronica. Over the next 3 minutes I listened to "Exhibit A" and was in a state of awe, it was a sublime feeling to hear this man rap for the first time, and ever since I have had everything this man has released of rotation. His album has built up a crazy amount of anticipation over the past few years, and it has become more of a myth than reality. Apparently the album has been done for quite some time now and Jay-Z and the Roc nation have it in their possession, and it is Jay-Z's favorite album of the year, but it lacks any singles, so it has been shelved.
There is hope now though, with the release of "Dear Moleskin," and while it only has one verse, it is still better then 95% of the rap being put out right now. If this is your introduction
Jay Elec I dont just recommend, but highly encourage you to search for and listen to his music.
