Jay Electronica – A Written Testimony: Mars, The Inhabited Planet [Album Stream]

It looks like Jay Electronica is trying to cram a decade and a half of silence into a single week.

Just after midnight Friday—days after quietly sliding “Act I” and “Act II” onto streaming—he dropped a 7-track set, “A Written Testimony: Leaflets“. Twenty-four hours later at midnight came another bundle: “A Written Testimony: Power At The Rate Of My Dreams“, five tracks deep. Nothing arrived the following night, so fans figured the sprint was over—until a few hours ago, when yet another release hit DSPs.

The newest installment is “A Written Testimony: Mars, The Inhabited Planet”. It packs eight tracks, and in true Jay Elect fashion, he’s not on the mic for all of them; the titles alone raise eyebrows. A few days back he mentioned handing Jay-Z 19 albums—maybe he meant it. With the quick-turn samples and even a nod to fan tweets from days ago, these drops feel like they’re being built in real time.
