What I haven't seen mentioned here is Jay Elect is letting the beats breathe at the end of the track. Sometimes letting the instrumental go on for over a minute, e.g. Ghost of Soulja Slim and Universal Soldier. Been missing that on records these past decades. Reminding me of Liquid Swords, which is never a bad thing.
This, one of the long lost arts

Shyt got no reply value... cant wait for KP album to drop

KP kills it on this JE beat


I’m wondering if you all are just trolling

if you can’t see Jay Elec is a better rapper then you’re lying to yourself

especially on this beat

How many of you realized that Never ending story is the story of Paulo Coelho’s Alchemist over an Alchemist beat ... also it’s his story

heads are sleeping on the depth of the album
No wonder I could hear FETTI in that beat shyt man he had to make it during that same time that guitar so electric and just felt. I can just hear Spitta and Gibbs doing it better than hov and elect did

Aint trolling breh... just how i feel, the album has no REPLAY value with its dark/boring theme. Weak beats and how can he let Jay HOVA wash him on what is supposed to be his debut album?

JE is a KP clone and will never top any KP album and this is coming from someone that actually liked most of JE's earlier projects.

Killah Priest gave much respect to Jay Electronica and his album though, in his podcast last week. Saying "it's a good time for hiphop", with Jay Elect dropping and KP himself dropping next month.

Thanks for this! Wish the Santiago transforming into the wind-reference was on this track though in stead of Ezekiel's Wheel. Would have made it even crazier.
