Wasn’t named Exhibit A, we didn’t go in with the title. Of “Exhibits” and it kind of happened after the fact. These songs are part ofĪn album that we’re working on right now, but we have also discussed a project The “Exhibit” process is a project that we are doing.
“Exhibit C” came out before “Exhibit B” because Just played it on a radio station one night in a DJ set and it just grew legs and walked on its own, so “Exhibit C” came next.Ĭan you explain the concepts behind what is going on? In the beginning of “Exhibit C,” Just Blaze says, “The case of the state of hip-hop versus JayĮlectronica,” on it. We had “Exhibit B,” it was initially a song that was “Exhibit A” remixed with Mos Def, but it is more of an “Exhibit A remix” because it’s the same music and it is just a different version with a Mos Defįeature, so we decided to keep that as an “Exhibit A” remix and “Exhibit B” is “Exhibit B” is on a hard drive, it’s not yet heard. wo can you just speak on the meaning behind this “Exhibit A” and then “Exhibit C”? And also, where is “Exhibit B” exactly right now? “Exhibit A.” t5hen you have another song called “Exhibit C,” very popular right now. Now, “Exhibit A,” tell me a little bit about the concept because you have And all of the piano and everything he added later. Was like, “No, trust me, trust me, trust me,” so I wrote the song before the drums and stuff were laid and we just did it. At that moment I wanted to do something that I felt was more aggressive and he He was playing the synth chords and I didn’t like it at first. We were in the studio inĭetroit with my brother DJ TJ the King and he started laying theįoundation. So it wasn’t like we set out to do music. This one, we actually stumbled on this, we actually made this one in 15 Let’s get a window into your creative process of how you go about doing things. Tell us a little bit about the process of making this particular record, how long it took you to write. That’s a song called “Exhibit A: Transformations.” ( music: Jay Electronica – “Exhibit A (Transformations)” / applause)
“Official” being a kind of weird term these days, but we thought that we might play something just to get things started, and this isīy request from Jay Electronica himself. Ironically enough, he has many songs but only a couple of official songs. Would you say that is accurate or not? I’ll say that that’sĪccurate. But anyway, this gentleman is probably the most talked about hip-hop artist to emerge in the Wanted to come for two weeks, but he told me I couldn’t. But I really like the feel of what’s going here, I was walking around thinking this is the shit. I asked him if I could apply, but he said I couldn’t. Here for two weeks to be creative and think about only creative things. I’m trying to explain to him that it is a project where we have folks from all over the world working on music, like-minded, and they’re basically Jay just walked into the building and he knows really nothing about this whole thing or what we’reĭoing. Well, why be nervous? Everybody’s friendly here. You are here for shows, obviously, and it is very exciting for you, right? Are you alright? Don’t be nervous. In his 2010 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, Jay joined us to talk about his New Orleans upbringing, his sporadic releases, his mystique and more.
#Electronica movie
The MySpace leak of “Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge),” a 15-minute opus laced with movie samples and beatless film soundtracks, represented the beginning of an astounding surge of interest in both the man and his music back in 2007. Since then, the New Orleans-born MC and producer has garnered heavy support from everybody from Nas to Gilles Peterson, and has worked heavily with soulslinger Just Blaze, dropping two instant neo-backpack classics, “Exhibit A” and “Exhibit C.” He also partnered with New York-based “idea studio” Decon, working on his debut album as well as a video project with label founder Jason Goldwatch, and built more anticipation around his “Act II” track than the rest of hip-hop's class of ’10 combined. The effect of his quirky, emotional sound was compounded by the erratic methods of its release, drifting out unannounced via the internet. Jay Electronica swept onto the hip-hop scene in a wave of enigma.
