?uestlove talks holdup on Jay Electronica’s Act II
“I told Jay you ain’t getting that record till 2015 and he hit me like I got the record and I’m like you ain’t releasing that record till 2015
Actually Jay (Sean Carter) has the record, listens to it constantly, says it’s his favorite record of 2012..he says it has no singles on it though but it’s his favorite record
Q: Is he not going to release it?
A: Jay wants a single”

Almost Time
Flying Lotus & Jay Electronica working together?
back from an interview done in March 2010
“Juno: Are there any other collaborations we should know about?
“Flying Lotus: I’ve got one with Mad Lib and Jay Electronica, and I’m doing more work with Massive Attack. There are also a few others that I probably shouldn’t mention right now!”

I heard some of the new album today, which will not disappoint, it will be coming out sometime at the beginning of 2012, living in the UK at the moment, big up Jay
Jay Electronica - Warehouse Project, Manchester 10/29/11
i wouldn’t have believed it myself if i hadn’t experienced it.
within just 24 hours, i wrote a record to give away online, summoned the legendary Infamous Mobb Deep via out of the blue tweets and we released a record together. I became a trending topic Worldwide within 3 minutes of its release and actually penetrated radio. Just heard the news that the Great Zane Lowe will premiere the record in the United Kingdom tonight as ‘The Hottest Record In The World”.
All of the above is attempted daily by major music corporations who have teams of ppl spending excessive amounts of money and still fall short of the goal. My methodology is quite different, but we must agree… it works. and on a pretty consistent basis. with exponential growth. every. single. time.
i’d like to take this time to quote my mom …”thats pretty damn good son!”
i guess it is.
and this isn’t even a single.
or even a song from my album.
its just a dope ass beat, with some (extra) dope rhymes from me and 2 of My favorite hip hop artists of all time, who woke up yesterday not even knowing they’d be on a record with me a few hours later.
Look at the atmosphere all in a stir.
if i were a younger me, right now is probably where i would say, “dog, look around. I’m the fucking man ouchea”
good thing I’m striving to grow.
i wouldn’t have believed it myself if i hadn’t experienced it.
I am Thankful and Grateful for This Blessing Filled Journey

Jeymes Samuel of The Bullitts talks about Act II
“suppose Jay Electronica is exactly the same, his forthcoming album ‘Act Two: Patients Of Nobility’ in turn is really cinematic in its presentation.”
http://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/663/the_bullitts_everybody_be_cool_part_1/
“I done a song with Jay Electronica featuring Jay-Z and Charlotte Gainsbourg for Jay’s album called ‘Dinner At Tiffany’s/Shiny Suit Theory,’ the song is seven minutes. Three and a half minutes have been leaked online, the Jay Electronica and Jay-Z part, the Charlotte Gainsbourg bit hasn’t been heard. But it’s called ‘Dinner At Tiffany’s’, it’s what happened in the evening after Breakfast In Tiffany’s. I was like “I want to be the first one to do that title!” And Jay was like “Let’s execute!” It’s what happened in the evening - to me it’s action and adventure. It goes from one place; a ‘Moon River’ type song and turns into this hip-hop banger with Jay Electronica and Jay-Z. But you have three and a half minutes of Charlotte Gainsbourg doing a three/four times signature sultry orchestra lead.”
“Meanwhile I’m making Jay Electronica’s album and the Bullitts album, but for me it doesn’t seem that I’m busy because this stuff doesn’t seem like work to me.”

“Someone else Samuel has spent a lot of time around is Jay Electronica (he’s also producing the rapper’s forthcoming debut album ‘Act Two: Patients Of Nobility’ due out on Jay-Z’s label later this year).
“Jay Electronica and The Bullitts is like Scorsese and De Niro,” he says snapping a carrot between his teeth. “I don’t know who is who – me and Jay always argue. I’d rather be De Niro than Scorsese. Scorsese has made some classics, but every one of his classics has DeNiro in. Not everyone of De Niro’s have Scorsese.
“With me and Jay it’s the idea that every great person has a counterpart. To every Sapphire there’s a Steel; to every Starsky there’s a Hutch. Sherlock Holmes has Moriarty. Jay-Z… Nas… Biggie Smalls… Tupac. There’s always a counterpart. Our creative relationship was forged through The Bullitts.”
Jay Electronica x Jay-Z x Mos Def x T.I. x Just Blaze all on one track?
This is from a interview done back in March 2009
“Talib Kweli: How about that joint he just played for us last night; Mos Def, Just Blaze, Jay Electronica, T.I., and Jay-Z on a track together. Mos got some crazy joints about to come out man, I promise you.”

Erykah Badu talks about Jay Electronica on Gilles Peterson 4/13/11
“Erykah: Im really anticipating Jay Electronica’s record, he’s all over the place and because he is a perfectionist and a illusionist and a magician, i’m sure there is going to be a whole bunch of abracadabra in that and i’m looking forward to that. He doesn’t let any of us hear it.
Gilles: Where is at? I mean how far away are we from sort of seeing something solid, physical?
Erykah: With Jaytronic?
Gilles: Yeah
Erykah: That’s hard to say, you know it’s very hard to say for an artist. Because im never ever finish with my album, they have to like ply it out of my cold hands. You know your never really finished, i’m not really sure
Gilles: But he is signed now right?
Erykah: He is, he signed to Jigga which I think is a perfect combination because they have so much respect for one another and they flow on the same mindwave, you know
Gilles: Are you going to be on the album?
Erykah: I don’t know, you know I don’t know, I don’t know if he really like my music that much, I mean I don’t know if i’m the one for that but either way i’m going to be with it. Im in it all in there, you know, I hope I inspired him in many ways as he has inspired me, you know and sometimes you don’t have to be on the album to be a part of it”
