Hip-Hop | Jay Electronica – Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 3)

Posted by on October 13, 2011

Jay Electronica took the hip-hop world by storm a couple years ago when he dropped “Exhibit C”.  You would have thought Biggie resurrected from his grave (which in a way he later did when Jay dropped “The Ghost Of Christopher Wallace”).  Since then, Jay has hit us with a couple more powerful tracks, “Shiny Suit Theory ft. Jay Z & The-Dream” & “The Announcement”, along with some nice features.  Other than those, Elec has been rather quiet which has had fans wondering what the New Orleans native has been up to.

After speculations were flying that Jay would sign to Diddy’s label, Bad Boy Records, after they released “The Ghost Of Christopher Wallace”, Elec turned and signed with the competition, Jay-Z, at Roc Nation.  As Jay-Z said about J. Cole, he is in no position to rush artists, but rather give them time to build.  Apparently he has the same game plan for Jay Elec as this single, “Call of Duty (Modern Warfare 3)” will be the first off his debut LP album,  Act II: Patents of Nobility, which may or may not drop this year.  The song features production from Young Guru and a spot from Havoc & Prodigy aka Mobb Deep.

As you can see above, there apparently is some unsettled beef between Jay and Diddy, as he took to his Twitter to send warning shots to the Bad Boy squad.  I’d presume this is the first major threat MGK has received since signing to Bad Boy earlier this year.  Personally, I don’t think MGK will do anything and Diddy isn’t the “bad boy” he once was, so I don’t really see this going anywhere.

Above are the visuals for Tiesto’s head-splicing “Zero 76” track.

In another life, I was born a Swede. Everyone in that country is blonde, has seemingly impressive style, and listens to good music (Naturally, SweetE belongs there). That being said, the Swedish duo Suck Shaft, albeit having an awful name, have doused my ears in electronic goodness.

The duo, who recently signed to Despotz Records, define their music as “spectacular modern hood-rat electro with a distinguished whiff of classic glittery 80’s funk soul and 70’s rock.” Use headphones while listening to this track!

Noah Smith, the South Carolina producer who goes by the name of Hard Mix, has released “Now Her,” a track off his forthcoming LP, Defaults. The free LP, which is set to drop in just three days, will be available for download from Dovecote Records.

This Umek remix is exactly what the clubs in New York SHOULD be playing. I’m speaking to you, Kiss & Fly: stop playing awful house!

I don’t know much about Sauce (of whom’s track I’ve posted below). All I know is his remix of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence” is impressive. Apparently he’s a young, fellow New Yorker. You can check out his Soundcloud here.

I thought Hussle Club’s “Loose Tights” track was ill enough on its own. That is, until Flinch SHOWERED it in dubstep glory. Don’t pass this one up!

“Gucci Rag Top,” a track off Kid Sister’s recently released mixtape, Kiss Kiss Kiss, is the product of a collaboration with that one ice-cream-cone-faced rapper. I can’t decide if this track deserves a listen, or is just a headache. Most likely the latter…
