The man probably most famous for his work on the soundtrack of
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind (15 minutes of percussion-free music) and for making babies with Erykah Badu, Jay Electronica, is about to release his
Scratches and Demo Volume 1. Like a lot of his music, the tracks leaked from the album are a little experimental, a little dark, and very different from a lot of today's hip hop.
Jay Electronica, who worked on Nas'
Untitled album and has collaborated with Madlib, J Dilla, Erykah Badu, and Just Blaze, has never released a single or an album but has had tracks leaked all over the interwebs and is oftentimes touted as being one of the artists who are the future of hip hop. Better him than Ja Rule.
