Diddy reemerges on Jay Electronica’s shock album “Abracadabra,” sparking rumors of extra albums on the best way and elevating eyebrows forward of his looming sentencing.
One other one? YES! Jay Elect has one other album and never the one we talked about yesterday!
Diddy and Jay Electronica are again…like they by no means left? Now that’s sufficient to make you sit up. The streets are buzzing that Sean “Diddy” Combs has popped up on Jay Electronica’s new album and for those who blinked you would possibly’ve missed it.
The monitor is known as “Abracadabra” and fittingly, Diddy’s voice units the tone proper on the intro. Now, that is being pushed as his first “look” since that very public arrest final 12 months. Fascinating timing, proper?
Let’s rewind. Bear in mind when Jay Electronica was one of many hottest unsigned MCs within the land? Diddy was one of many very first individuals lobbying to deliver him into the Unhealthy Boy empire. However Jay went the Roc Nation route as a substitute, aligning with JAY-Z. Quick ahead to now and right here we’re, with Jay lastly dropping back-to-back music bombs and Diddy sneaking in via the intro.
If Hip-Hop is a chessboard, this seems like a transfer with layers.
Now, I’m listening to one thing even wilder. Jay Electronica isn’t simply dropping one album. Phrase round Roc Nation’s camp is that he is perhaps flooding the market. Possibly even two in at some point. You learn that proper. He may have one other venture up his sleeve ready to hit streaming platforms as you’re studying this. The quiet prophet would possibly turning right into a monster. Stand by!
As for Diddy, effectively, his scenario is way from music. He’s staring down imminent sentencing in his authorized case, and relying on how the choose swings, he may stroll or he may serve extra time. Both means, this cameo couldn’t come at a extra delicate second. I don’t suppose it could damage him, although. I feel he’s going to want each ounce of help from his circle if issues don’t go his means. And if he’s freed.
What makes the entire thing deeper is that Diddy himself admitted that Jay Electronica taught him about endurance. Hearken to the track. Take into consideration that. One of the crucial impatient moguls in Hip-Hop historical past, recognized for hustling 24/7, studying endurance from Jay Elect! Jay Electrical energy made us wait a decade for his debut. The contradiction!
On the finish of the day, Hip-Hop is in a wierd place, however these moments remind us of its unpredictability. If Jay Electronica is admittedly again and if Diddy is creeping again too, then we’re in for an intriguing chapter. Defend Hip-Hop. It’s nonetheless alleged to be a drive for good.
By the best way…
Bear in mind when Diddy tweeted, “Rattling it hurts in an entire different means when somebody you felt and I imply actually felt was your Buddy, Betrays you. It hurts when Breathe [sic].”
Loopy!
