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.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
