While mentioning Jay-Z, his efforts on the otherwise stellar “Road to Perdition” are little to none as he repeats the same two phrases over and over again at random times during its nearly 4-minute length. Glorifying this is one of the two songs that features Jay-Z, “Shiny Suit Theory”, which despite feeling better placed here, it’s an exact copy of the cut we heard on the album’s predecessor. ![]() Instead, most of Jay’s writing issues come from listening to A Written Testimony as some of the ideas, rhyme schemes, and thinking pieces are recycled here. Referencing BlackBerrys and Tumblr undoubtedly shows the records age, but it hardly draws away from Jay Electronica’s breathtaking performance. Without Jay-Z on his shoulder, can Jay Electronica make a proper solo debut in Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn)?

From 2007 to 2009, mixtapes such as Style Wars and Attack of the Clones caused many to think Jay Electronica was hip hops next savior.
