Album Review: Jay Electronica – A Written Testimony

In ‘Shiny Suit Theory,’ Jay Electronica talks about how Puff Daddy once told him to chase a Grammy… Well, if it was up to me, I would give A Written Testimony a Grammy!

I’m not foolish enough to say that A Written Testimony was well worth the wait (the album should’ve come out ten years ago), but I will say that the album is very good! To me, the production you hear on it is flawless, the lyrics you hear on it are great (Not ‘great’ as in really good, I mean ‘great’ as in legendary), the excerpts you hear on it are deep, the messages you hear on it are uplifting/empowering, the wordplay you hear on it is fantastic, the punchlines you hear on it are beyond clever, and the overall music you hear on it is timeless-sounding.

If anyone on this planet wants to petition to call the album Watch The Throne 2, I would have absolutely no problem with that.
