Jay Electronica Puts 'Act II' on Streaming and Drops Two New Projects in 48 Hours

Released under Roc Nation Distribution, the rollout features a Diddy-led intro during his pre-sentencing incarceration.

Overview

  • Act I: Eternal Sunshine and Act II: The Patents of Nobility are now on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and other platforms under Roc Nation Distribution, with Roc Nation promoting the releases on X.
  • The Act II version on streamers matches the 2020 leak in structure, with reports noting cleaner mixing despite unfinished passages.
  • Jay Electronica surprise-released A Written Testimony: Leaflets, a seven-track, ~29-minute set featuring Quentin Miller and DRAM, opened by Diddy’s spoken intro about the state of hip-hop.
  • Diddy was found guilty on two counts related to transportation to engage in prostitution in July and remains incarcerated pending his October 3 sentencing, contextualizing his appearance on Leaflets.
  • A second drop, the EP A Written Testimony: Power At The Rate Of My Dreams, arrived with contributions from Westside Gunn, Hit-Boy and Dr. Wesley Muhammad, as Jay Electronica raps about giving Jay-Z “19 albums in one day,” hinting at a larger vault.
