Unless you have been away from every form of communication known to man for the past few days you already know that one of our favorite emcees, Jay Electronica, has signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation imprint. We've been very vocal in our admiration for Electronica's abilty on the mic and we think this just adds to the anticipation for his official proper debut album. The song that he performed live at the announcement of his signing which is also titled Announcement might be the most indepth conceptual lirical display of the year. Jay-Z is building a very impressive roster of artists. Always keeping things interesting and exciting for music fans.
The image of Jay Electronica, that has been destorted a bit, comes from my friend Ouni's A Polaroid Story blog. Most Def worth checking out.
