JAY ELECTRONICA F/ DIDDY-THE GHOST OF CHRISTOPHER WALLACE

Oooweeeeee. Here’s some footage from Jay Electronica’s epic performance last night at Webster Hall in NYC.  If you follow him on Twitter, here’s how hard he went in a nutshell:

@JayElectronica Let it be known and heard that I destroyed webster hall tonight and gave away everything from my coat to my shoes. I’m leaving barefoot!

His new song, “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace”  dropped today. It was produced by Quincy Tones. Let us know what you think!

JAY ELECTRONICA-EXHIBIT C (ASTRONOTE REMIX)

I’m glad to see Jay Elect finally getting the response and attention he deserves. Blind I has been bumping and posting his stuff for years, and he definitely deserves the shine. The Just Blaze original is pretty much untouchable, but the Astronotes remix is dope too.

Listen, download and let us know what you think?

We put up the polls, you voted, and now we present to you the 2009 Blind I End Of The Year Award Winners!

TEASER: JAY ELECTRONICA – DEAR MOLESKINE (ALTERNATE)

Alternate visuals for Jay Electronica’s soon-to-drop-joint “Dear Moleskine” trip to Nepal. Everyone’s talking about Drake‘s album not living up to the hype, I hope Jay doesn’t fall into that same category. Blasphemy, I know, but which one would be more disappointing if it was weak?
