the first wasnt bad but the 2nd and 3rd definitely are much better. finish!
This is the illest rapper out of New Orleans Period. BUMP IT…..The flow is unique….
he can re-record the vocals for annakin’s prayer with a more urgent delivery, but the beat and the lyrics are fire. he sounds depressed the way he delivers it currently, not with his usual fire.
hagler has the lyrics and delivery on point, but the beat sounds unfinished. maybe a more dynamic drum pattern? i like the vocal sample and how it’s chopped (the singing in the background that comes in and out). maybe a different mix would change the impact of it.
not too far from nothing is my favorite beat of the three. and jay brings the fire! that’s a keeper! i think the levels could be brought up a bit on the beat, but the sonic elements are all there. wish he kept rapping longer on that one.
new orleans represent!!!!!
(spirit equality…bred in new orleans east….signing off….)
Peace Jay, Thanks for dropping. Keep puttin in that work son. Love u back in the N.O.
Bump ‘em
“Annakin’s Prayer” is the s***… the rest of them need a little touching up but are greatness just the same..
Finish Them Jay! We need more Jay Electronica in our lives. Much love from HyPE LG.

FINISH ALL & THEN MAKE MORE
FINISH THEM! (in Mortal Kombat voice)
It will be a crime against humanity if he doesn’t finish “Hagler.” PLEASE. PLEASE.
HAGLER….IS A BANGER!!!! Mr Porter put his foot into that beat for you Jay…that one has to make tha Cut!!! I love your calm I-make-this-look-easy delivery over that cosmic soundscape that Porter laid down!
Not too far…This is Texbook Jay right here, I say this track stays because this is you in a comfortable familiar space. If it aint broke dont fix right!?!
Annakin’s Prayer, hmmmm….The content has a very deep shock value to it but it probably might go over too many kids heads…I see this track having a better home on a mixtape or side project rather than a album.
I hope my 2 cents added value to this evaluation process!!!
finish all of ’em..
