Jay Electronica feat. Jay-Z, The-Dream & Charlotte Gainsbourg – Shiny Suit Theory

Two Jay Elec posts in a row? Believe it! I’m on this bandwagon and the air up here smells lovely! More seriously though, I Got A Love for this track….

Sidebar: I’m kind of assuming that scratchy, vintage sounding female vocal at the end was Charlotte Gainsbourg (correct?) but where was The-Dream on this track??!

New Music: Jay Electronica – The Announcement ‘featuring’ John F. Kennedy

Well, unless you’ve been living under a rock (or actually have a life), by now you know that the announcement is that Jay Electronica has signed to Roc Nation, thereby breaking Diddy’s heart and creating the best new hip hop roster in the game along with J. Cole (Sorry Young Money). What else could Jay do? Signing to Bad Boy could never have been a serious consideration, could it? After all, it’s not 1995 any more!

My skepticism of the over-the-top hype surrounding Jay Elec, notwithstanding, I have to admit that this track is very good. Lyrically bananas….

Hit the jump to watch video of Jay-Z making the, er…. actual announcement. (more…)

New Music: Swizz Beatz feat. DMX & Busta Rhymes – Ya’ll Don’t Really Know

Fourth track in his ‘Monster Mondays’ free music series! How original! Jock Kanye much??! :/

New Music: Michael Jackson – Keep Your Head Up

Actually love the artwork but this project just seems like a total slap in the face to the legacy of the greatest entertainer of all time. Recent collaborators like Will.i.am agree, long-time collaborators like Teddy Riley are disgusted at how the project came together, the Jackson family is apparently not happy, fans don’t even believe Michael really sang on the first single, Breaking News” while the estate for Michael Jackson (not his family??!) counters with a response addressing the controversy that seems so over the top that it doesn’t seem realistic. On top of that anyone agree with me that this new song starts out sounding like a slow-ed down, ballad version of Usher’s “In The Club”?
