Jay Electronica Reveals “Jazzmatazz (Guru Tribute)” (Listen & Download)

Either Jay Electronica (a.k.a. Roc Nation's newest member a.k.a. the latest solider in Hova's Army of Js) recorded this months ago and is just now getting around to releasing it, or he's a little behind on his Guru memorial services, but either way I'll never complain about anyone who helps to keep Guru's memory alive, or new music from a rapper who only releases three songs a year. In other words, I've got nothing but good things to say about "Jazzmatazz (Guru Tribute)".

In true Jay ElecHanuChristmaQuanzakah fashion "Jazzmatazz" is an eclectically constructed joint that includes both an extended Martin Luther King Jr. intro, a smooth, jazzy beat, a soulful hook from Tone Treasure and rhymes that run the gambit from Yo Gabba Gabba to Jack Daniels. Only one man could put together something like this and have it sound dope, and his name is Jay Elec. Dopeness.

This will reportedly find a home on his upcoming mixtape/album, "Act II: Patents Of Nobility (The Turn)", but by "reportedly" I mean that's why some of my fellow bloggers who may or may not have any idea what they're talking about have said. I"ll believe it when I see the tracklist.
