Jay Electronica - Exhibit A (Transformations)
Artist: Jay Electronica
Producer: Just Blaze
Album: Guitar Center’s Fresh Cuts v.3
Label: Roc Nation/Columbia
I know what you Booth-heads are thinking; it’s about time you featured something from Jay Electronica! Signed to his “spiritual partner,” Erykah Badu‘s Control FreaQ Records, the New Orleans native has built himself quite an underground buzz. Off the brand new Guitar Center’s Fresh Cuts v.3, Electronica adapts a Nas-like tone and flow, reminding those who enjoy feeling superior to others that “you can find the Christ where the lepers and the lames at.” Just Blaze does his part on the beat, mixing piano keys, rainfall sounds, two audio clips from the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and the intro to an A&E Biography of Ernest Hemingway to create a never-before-heard sonic mélange. If you’re glad we’ve finally featured Jay, watch for more of his work to show up in the Booth over the coming weeks.

Dang...I was going to use that Jay-Z line (to show homage) on a track coming up! I was waiting for someone to do it though. Just Blaze's production was tyte...I just felt it could have been a tad cleaner and more high quality. Jay snapped on this though. I previously hadn't really checked out any of his music, though I was aware of him. I loved the history reference punchlines and the background ambiance at the end.

I gotta revist this song, cause it is becoming one of my favorite new ones. Just Blaze lost his damn mind with this one. I listened to this song at least 4 times today.

This is one of those songs like Metafore, or dare I say Young Son, that you don't expect much going in, but after listening you just say, "Damn that was fire!"
