Jay Electronica’s Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn) Arrives After 10 Years and a Leak

The holy grail of rap albums, Jay Electronica’s shelved debut, Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn), has officially been released on Tidal after ten years of waiting. The Just Blaze–produced album was Jay El’s follow-up to 2007’s Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), his hit debut mixtape, but it was delayed indefinitely. He instead released A Written Testimony as his debut album in March 2020. But after the entirety of Act II appeared online over the weekend, the rapper tweeted that he was just going to drop it. “Please be patient w us, we are working to clear samples and have this up on Tidal asap,” he tweeted on October 4. “Thank You All.”

Act II has been anticipated since Jay Electronica signed to Roc Nation in 2010 and released “Shiny Suit Theory,” featuring Jay-Z and The-Dream, which would later be on A Written Testimony. In 2011, he said Act II would “soon come,” and, in 2012, he dropped a track list that included Kanye West. Though 2020 fans were initially skeptical, the love for Act II began pouring in, especially after Just Blaze confirmed the legitimacy of the leak. “Started to make the rounds a few days ago then went full on last night,” he tweeted. “Just checked a bit of it. It’s not the final version at all but yeah.. it’s real.” Mysterious as ever, Jay Electronica deleted several tweets thanking fans for the support but kept one that reads, “Allah is indeed the best of planners. Humbled by the love it’s receiving.” Listen to the ten-year-old album now and, uh, maybe watch out for the next sign that the end is nigh.

So it's on Tidal now. What in the actual fuck is going on here. Somebody makes 9,000 off of the album, then they turn around and release the damn thing. Now I hear there is a better fan mastered version of it online as well. This is wild.

The album itself is great. In the climate of music where this was supposed to happen, it would have still been great. With Jay Z and Justblaze they could have had they high energy tracks it they really wanted to. The question if the album was good has been answered, but now the question of why not put it out when they had the tools to make it work. One of those Hip hop mysteries we'll never have solved because the real answer may not be good enough.

Also, hearing this without Kanye and Puff is a blessing in disguise given how things have played out. A real blessing.

And we know Justblaze has one of the most coveted vaults. We could name some other producers who do, but I'm just saying.

I'm Just gonna end up making a mix with my favorite songs from A Written Tesitomony and and this album.

[Intro: Jay Z]
I got these niggas, Breezy!
Don't worry about it

[Intro: Ronald Reagan]
"And they say if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation with the enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn to love us. All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers. They say we offer simple answers to complex problems. Well, perhaps there is a simple answer—not an easy answer—but simple"

[Verse 1]
I got that black on black skin tone, actual-fact syndrome
That's why I dropped the jewel on every verse you heard me shit on
Okay, it's a Slumdog opera
The tale of a king whose name wasn't on the roster
My road to glory was Road To Perdition
And Act II: The Turn is just the memoirs with no omissions
We came a mighty long way from standing near the stove
In the cold, the greatest story ever told
The realest niggas see the pain in my story boards
The true believers say, "Wallahi, I support the boy"
My life feel like a highlight reel
This is lightning striking, feel how the Zeitgeist feel
Get a slight chill

[Bridge: Jay Z]
I got these niggas, Breezy!
Don't worry about it

[Verse 2]
My swag is on 1.21 gigawatts, 10 trillion kilowatts
Hardcore Thriller pop, Michael Jackson, nigga rock
Google me, baby, understand where I'm coming from
My destiny's to hit a grand slam when my number come
All hail the lyrical, Grand Wizard Imperial
Nigga signed the dotted line with Hov, that's a miracle
And I ain't leave the thugs alone
The humble and the meek will surely inherit the mud we on
And shoot up every club we clone
The flow is too atomic
The poetry's too Qu'ran-ic, the young prophet Muhammad
And I could drop a verse to change the whole vibration
The whole Roc Nation, the whole Live Nation
So pour libation
Beware, but prepare for the polarization, it's the globalization
Warn all the clergymen and notify Satan
I been waiting, this the notarization, I been patient

[Bridge: Jay Z]

[Verse 3]
A thousand kisses to the haters cause they made me greater
A thousand wishes from a million slaves could raise a savoir
A thousand visits to these dickheads at these major labels
From Big Daddy Kane to Big Daddy Cain and Abel
You pay a cost to be a boss, nigga, I paid the wager
Mastered both sides of the force and plus I made my saber
Yes sir, I'm a soldier of love
Drowning all my sorrows and woes in the club
My white boys say, "that shit you spit last year, bro
Was like a real fine Merlot and a cashmere throw"
Some black chicks say he ugly, white women they love me
My Asians and my mamis don't put nothing above me
I call it as it happen, the art of quality rapping
One autobiographical chapter could start up the rapture
And even though I walk in the narrow valley of death
All I see is green pastures, bitches screaming from the rafters

i prefer to hear why he ended it with that billionaire broad he was sportin a while back.

Who gives a fuck what Jay Electronica has to say? I’m curious how he makes a living though since he doesn’t put out music. Does that nigga work ?
Why are you curious how another Man makes a living that’s a Grammy Nominated MC? Like really what are you going to do with that information? Catalog it?
