Jay Electronica - "Dear Moleskine" + MY Act II Tracklist

Playing this is a damn near religious experience. It loosened my soul and reminded me just how exciting music can be.

Yeah, I'm a huge Jay Elect fan.


It's kinda starting to look like Jota Flowers will defy the "untimely unkindly" and drop off Act II. Fingers crossed. We got artwork a few days ago, and now here we have a genuine song (albeit the full version of a snippet the internet has had for ages). Either way, this sounds glorious.



I also wanted to include the songs that would make my ideal Act II. Lemme know what yours are!

Exhibit A - For obvious, spitting-hot-fire reasons.
Exhibit C - The song that exploded the hype train. These two could be used as album framing devices?
Hard To Get - The rapper as a sensual soul singer? Give me an album of this please.
Who Gone Save My Soul (Remix) - Beautifully written verse. Seriously, check out the lyrics.
Dear Moleskine - See Listen above.
Ghost of Christopher Wallace - A full version. Include Diddy's shit-talking. This one makes sense as a grandiose allusion in the vein of his religious allusions, thus painting hip-hop as a "new religion" and Biggie as prophet. Magical stuff.
Prelude to a Freestyle - I mean 'Ye is Roc so maybe they could clear the beat, but rapping on an old beat is kinda a no-no, especially when we're striving for classic status. Get a reworked beat from Kanye himself, master it, and include the Hov intro of JE. Because of that introduction, I see this as an opening track. Another great framing device.
