New Balance Excellent Makers x Jay Electronica

Jay Elec, Jay Elec, Jay Elec -- where to begin? How about the fact that this dude has been teasing at new music for like -- I don't even know -- almost a decade now? He's also (reportedly) got some documentary film in the works, which is probably never gonna see the light of day. And now we've got a new, well, leaked track from Jay Electronica entitled "Man Up." Apparently this track dates back to George W. Bush's first term in office, which would mean somewhere between the years 2001-2005. The track is also produced by Jay Elec. Listen to the leaked track, "Man Up," after the jump.

The mysterious Jay Electronica has shared a new track entitled "Road to Perdition." The song features a sample of Jay-Z's "Success" from his 2007 album American Gangster. No word as to whether or not this track will appear on a new Jay Electronica project, which has been in limbo since forever ago. This is the first new song Jay Electronica has shared since last year's "Better in Tune With the Infinite." He is also starring in the film Into the Light which is scheduled to be released this year. Listen to "Road to Perdition" after the jump.

Both Vince Staples and Jay Electronica gave Common a helping hand during his AAHH! festival performance over the weekend and today Common delivers a remix of "Kingdom" featuring the two rappers. The original, which appears on Common's excellent Nobody's Smiling album, gets a nice boost of energy from the youthful Vince Staples and a solid verse from Jay Electronica. The track is said to be performed live at the BET Hip-Hop Awards on Oct. 14th during a tribute to the late Mike Brown. After the jump.
