Double Tap to Zoom

It's been a long time coming, but Jay Electronica's highly anticipated new album is reportedly finished. According to the man himself, the project will release in 40 days.

Jay took to Twitter today to break the news saying, "Album done." He went on to add, "My debut album featuring Hov man this is highway robbery. Releasing in 40 days."

The album is titled A Written Testimony as opposed to Act II: Patents of Nobility (The Turn). According to the 43-year-old rapper, the project was recorded over a 40-day period beginning December 26.

As many will no doubt be skeptical about the release, seeing as Jay has been promising an album for years, Just Blaze and Young Guru hopped on Twitter to confirm/cosign the project.
