NEW ALBUM: JAY ELECTRONICA “A Written Testimony: Leaflets”

Electronica surprise-dropped A Written Testimony: Leaflets, a 7-track EP serving as a spiritual and thematic supplement to his long-awaited 2020 debut album of the same name (minus the subtitle),

on September 19, his 49th birthday. Clocking in at 28 minutes and 49 seconds, the project dives deep into the rapper’s signature blend of esoteric lyricism, Nation of Islam-inspired spirituality, conspiracy theories (like UFOs and skepticism toward mainstream narratives), and nods to his New Orleans roots, all layered over sampled audio clips from figures like Louis Farrakhan. It’s his first new full body of work since the debut, following the sudden streaming debuts of his long-leaked early EPs Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) and Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn) earlier that week, sparking fan speculation about a potential “Act IIl!.”
