Well Noted: Jay Electronica’s ‘Better In Tune With The Infinite’

Jay_ElectronicaJay Electronica has been an up and coming young rapper that many critics have been touting for a while now, but he has yet to give the rap world his long overdue full-length first album. That may change in 2014, as Jay Electronica has dropped a new single called “Better In Tune With The Infinite.”

As reported by consequenceofsound.net:

“For the second time in less than a week, the elusive emcee has shared new music. Earlier, he jumped on a new remix of The Notorious B.I.G.’s “N*** Bleed;” now, he’s shared a brand new track called ”Better In Tune With The Infinite.” And by the looks of the song’s tagging, it seems like this track will appear on Electronica’s long-delayed “Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn).”

“If so, it’s impressive first offering, an elegant orchestral composition driven by piano and strings. The track begins by sampling the Professor’s speech from Wizard of Oz before Electronica takes over with a cool-as-hell rap fleshed out by vocals from singer LaTonya Givens.”

If Jay Electronica’s “Better In Tune With The Infinite” is an indication of  his upcoming album, the London native may have one of the standout rap albums of 2014.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
