Jay Electronica – Where The F*ck Is Jay Electronica? (Mixtape)
November 23rd, 2012 | Posted by in CSNW Mixes - (2 Comments)
In recent years the mysterious musical figure we call Jay Electronica has been missing on the music scene, which definitely isn’t something new for a nomad like him. A few months ago he popped up on the forefront at Jay-Z’s Made In America festival and did a very short set promising the album and the first single was coming featuring Chris Brown was on its way. Since then we have not heard from him via Twitter and Instagram, but he randomly pops up on the scene here and there. most recently, Just Blaze tweeted this picture of him and Jay Elect in the studio earlier today. He also tweeted a video that implied that there was music being made today as well.
Welp. Its happening. Ustream anyone? twitter.com/JustBlaze/stat…

I’m sure you’re wondering where the f*ck Jay Electronica is too, right? We have no idea what is going on with his debut album or whatever else he has going on at the moment. All we do know is that some people are still awaiting his project. In the meantime we conjured up Where The F*ck Is Jay Electronica to catch some people up on some tunes they might have missed as well as some gems and the full audio of an interview with the Red Bull Music Academy that he participated in a few years ago. Features and appearances by Che Grand, Just Blaze, The-Dream, NaS, Mos Def, J Dilla, Curren$y, Kidz In The Hall and many more. Tracklist down below.
