It’s been nearly five years now since Jay Electronica announced that his debut album, Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn) was finally completed and turned in, even going as far as revealing the album’s final tracklist.
Since the announcement, Jay has released a few singles originally slated for the LP, including “Better In Tune With The Infinite” and the JAY Z-featured tracks “Road To Perdition” and “Shiny Suit Theory.” Whether the above tracklist is still set in stone remains to be seen.
With the NBA All-Star game in New Orleans this weekend, Jay Electronica put on for his hometown with a special performance. In attendance, Jay Z embraced the elusive rapper and uttered words we’ve all been waiting to hear: “let’s put this album out.” So, Act II in 2017 — or nah?
