![]() He signed to Roc Nation in November, still without a debut, and dropped the celebratory Jay-Z collaboration Shiny Suit Theory. In 2010, Jay Elec announced a September release, once again fuelling speculation. It’s worth recapping just how this all happened, seeing as an entirely new generation – of which I’m a part – are now receiving one of yesteryear’s most anticipated albums.Īct II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn) was first announced for Christmas 2009, but with only a few days' warning, it certainly seemed a little optimistic. In the space of seven months, Jay Electronica went from infamously recordless to dropping two debuts. He put the record on Tidal the next night, ending 12 years of anticipation with little more than a few keystrokes. ZIP files spread like wildfire and Jay, though initially resistant, seemed to soften under a deluge of praise, love and well-wishes. Then, earlier this month, a group of Discord fanatics coordinated a record-breaking group buy – $9000, all in all – and passed the leak onto the people.

Which, of course, means the security team comes back and starts firing on them. ![]() Her questions are buried when the ship gets working again, and they plan to head out in 15 minutes. Erich and Clarissa also have a chat about Amos, namely that to Erich, Amos is Timmy, but Clarissa’s only ever known him by the former name. The group gets back to work on the ship to try to get it working before the “security team” comes back. Things escalate, and both sides start pointing guns at each other, until Clarissa, again, plays peacemaker… and Amos orders them to “walk the f**k away.” That’s not the end of it, though next, a group of armed people calling themselves “private security for the island” demand the group’s food.
