My girlfriend got that snapper between her legs

If you don’t know who Jay Electronica is, you need to get on your deen, ahki. Of late, homie has straight up been murdering the rap game a la Canibus circa 1997. But instead of spaced-out nerd rap, the New Orleans native gets it in with a mixture of blunted emotive poetics and dense, visceral wordplay that touches on topics like the media crucifixion of DMX adversary Michael Vick and the sorrows of his ravished hometown in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

Since posting an assortment of songs, dramatically referred to as Act I, on his MySpace a couple months ago, Mr. Electrolysis has had the fanboys over at GO-IN.COM in a ceaseless state of frenzy. Supposedly Act II is on its way and slated to come with its own Operating System (you Scuba Steves with the early download hookup get on your Jobs).

In the meantime, here’s Act I. And when you’re done digesting that, check out Jay’s recent interview with Gilles Peterson.
