ORIGINAL STORY (March 11, 2020): It’s almost here. After over a decade of patiently waiting for his debut album, fans are just a few days away from Jay Electronica‘s A Written Testimony. The rapper took to social media to announce the effort back in early February, and while the stream of tweets was met with immediate skepticism due to the unfulfilled promise of an LP during the entire 2010s, it looks like Jay Electronica is finally ready to give the world his album.
