It has been a minute since anyone has heard from the mysterious Jay Electronica. Just to let you know he’s alive and well, working on new music, and apparently traveling both the globe and time(?), Jay cut some footage from his trip to Asia to a new track of his produced by Just Blaze called “Dear Moleskine.” The footage was shot on location by Jason Goldwatch. Specifically, in this piece, the Pashputinath Hindu Temple and The Bodinath Buddhist Temple in Kathmandu Nepal. It is from a collaborative film/music project between Jay Electronica’s The Dogon Society and DECON. The project currently has no title or street date.

Jay-E

The unconventional nature of much of his music, and the lack of conventional release methods for that music, has, since 2007, made Jay Electronica the object of much attention. He is an emcee of mystery releasing singles and mixes predominantly on the internet through his myspace page, or through leaked forums.

Through his wild rhymes and ground breaking music, and international style you would think that he is a product of the Brooklyn retro rap scene. However, Jay Electronica is a true native of New Orleans, but with out the southern accent. This just the tip of the mysterious iceberg. This rising emcee may be from the home of Juvenile and Lil' Wayne and grew up surrounded by bounce music, but hear what he says about himself...

“People will say, ‘How could he be from New Orleans and rap like he does?’” Jay says, echoing a common Internet observation of his abstract rhyme style, which is more traceable to Nas (who appears on Act II) or Pharoahe Monch then Wayne or Juve. “Fuck where I’m from. I’m from the moon. I love New Orleans, it made me who I am, but, at the end of the day, it’s just a place. I rep man and human beings.”

This mantra is clearly stated by him in one of his first major singles released after making it big in 2007. On this truly moving track is built around 15 minutes of continuous music, without drums, beats, bass or bounce. Built from the soundtrack to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, There are five segments or movements,marked by changes in music and in mood. There are raps by Electronica, and occasional snippets of sampled movie dialogue. Other segments contain spoken word by Just Blaze and Erykah Badu describing the artist over the soundtrack. His love for the human race, movies, and outer space, are gentntly placed into a well produced intro track.
