Jay Electronica is finally set to release his debut album. The New Orleans-born took to Twitter on Friday to announce the impending release of A Written Testimony . The album was “recorded over 40 days and 40 nights, starting from December 26th,” and will be released in “40 days.”
Fans have been awaiting Jay Electronica’s debut album for over a decade, ever since he first burst onto the scene with his 2007 mixtape, Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge). In 2010, he signed to JAY-Z’s Roc Nation with plans to release his studio debut the following year. Unfortunately, nearly a decade came and went with no album. Instead, Jay Electronica’s output was limited to a series of one-off singles, including “Road to Perdition” featuring JAY-Z and “Letter to Falon”.
