Jay Electronica Drops 'A Written Testimony: Leaflets' With Diddy Intro on 49th Birthday

The seven-track supplement to his 2020 debut follows this week’s streaming arrival of Act I and Act II.

Overview

  • The seven-song, roughly 29-minute project is available on major platforms via Roc Nation Distribution.
  • Sean “Diddy” Combs opens “Abracadabra” with a warning that hip-hop is in a “dangerous place,” and he remains incarcerated after a July 2 conviction with sentencing scheduled for October 3.
  • Jay Electronica raps that he “was living with puff and cash and never showed up in the affidavit,” alluding to Diddy’s legal case.
  • He also claims he gave Jay-Z “19 albums in one day,” pointing to a large cache of unreleased material.
  • The release leans on sampled speeches and conspiratorial clips tied to his Nation of Islam influences, with guest spots from Quentin Miller and DRAM.
