Jay Electronica

New Orleans

Jay Electronica is one of the most influential rappers around, despite the fact that he’s never put out a commercially available release. He came to fame off a series of leaked tracks, whether "Act I - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind", which was based around the movie by the same name, or the whiplash-inducing "Exhibit C" produced by Just Blaze, which got heads bouncing in front of their computers around the globe. Jay counts Erykah Badu among his closest collaborators, is signed to Jay Z’s Roc Nation label, and is currently working on his anticipated debut album.
