DESCRIPTION:
---------------------

The next GOD MC. Most of you are already familiar with him; and have been anxiously awaiting the mythical Act II. This is a massive compilation of all of Jay Elect's best work, including features (with exclusive abridged versions). Hit the jump for all the details, tracklist and download link.

For those who don't know: Jay Electronica is the most recent Roc Nation signee, joining J. Cole on Jay-Z's new label. Best known for his single's Exhibit C and Exhibit A, many heads mistakingly think that he doesn't have much else out there. This 60 track compilation shall demonstrate otherwise. Jay first garnered attention from the underground with his masterful track, Act I: The Pledge - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, near the end of 2007. Looping samples from the movie of the same name, and using no drums and no bass, it is 4 verses laid over one continuous track with sound clips and intros. Lyrically, Act I is one of the greatest things I have EVER heard. I was blown away by my first listen, and have been a huge fan ever since.

While many people do not realize it, Jay has had a few other projects as well. Style Wars EP was his original release, all the way back in 2007, and in 2008 he also dropped the mix tape Attack of the Clones

This compilation also includes many exclusive abridged (shortened) versions of different tracks, particularly those where Jay is featured on another artist's song. See below for the details.

EDITS: Some of these songs have been abridged (as noted in the tracklist). The very first track, Act I: The Pledge, is 6:26 seconds long and contains just the four verses of the original which is about 9 minutes normally, with the intros and sound clips. It is beautiful to listen to the four verses back to back without interruption, and by far my favorite way to listen to it. I also have taken the snippet release for Dear Moleskin and mixed it with a live version to get the best full verse track we can at this point. Songs where Jay is featured, such as Live It, The Day, Cool Relax, Walking, Love Czars, Posers, and Close Your Eyes have been cut to just Jay's verse and the chorus. And The Ghost of Christopher Wallace is a little over 2 minutes long now, with Diddy's pointless 4 minute rant completely cut out. A few other songs have been trimmed at the end to make it all fit!
