Diddy reemerges on Jay Electronica’s shock album “Abracadabra,” sparking rumors of extra albums on the best way and elevating eyebrows forward of his looming sentencing.

Another one? YES! Jay Elect has one other album and never the one we talked about yesterday!

Diddy/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Diddy and Jay Electronica are again…like they by no means left? Now that’s sufficient to make you sit up. The streets are buzzing that Sean “Diddy” Combs has popped up on Jay Electronica’s new album and should you blinked you may’ve missed it.

The observe known as “Abracadabra” and fittingly, Diddy’s voice units the tone proper on the intro. Now, that is being pushed as his first “appearance” since that very public arrest final yr. Interesting timing, proper?

Let’s rewind. Remember when Jay Electronica was one of many hottest unsigned MCs within the land? Diddy was one of many very first individuals lobbying to deliver him into the Bad Boy empire. But Jay went the Roc Nation route as an alternative, aligning with JAY-Z. Fast ahead to now and right here we’re, with Jay lastly dropping back-to-back music bombs and Diddy sneaking in by means of the intro.

If Hip-Hop is a chessboard, this seems like a transfer with layers.

Now, I’m listening to one thing even wilder. Jay Electronica isn’t simply dropping one album. Word round Roc Nation’s camp is that he could be flooding the market. Maybe even two in in the future. You learn that proper. He may have one other venture up his sleeve ready to hit streaming platforms as you’re studying this. The quiet prophet may turning right into a monster. Stand by!

As for Diddy, nicely, his scenario is much from music. He’s staring down imminent sentencing in his authorized case, and relying on how the decide swings, he may stroll or he may serve extra time. Either method, this cameo couldn’t come at a extra delicate second. I don’t assume it might damage him, although. I believe he’s going to want each ounce of assist from his circle if issues don’t go his method. And if he’s freed.

What makes the entire thing deeper is that Diddy himself admitted that Jay Electronica taught him about persistence. Listen to the song. Think about that. One of essentially the most impatient moguls in Hip-Hop historical past, recognized for hustling 24/7, studying persistence from Jay Elect! Jay Electricity made us wait a decade for his debut. The contradiction!

At the tip of the day, Hip-Hop is in a wierd place, however these moments remind us of its unpredictability. If Jay Electronica is de facto again and if Diddy is creeping again too, then we’re in for an intriguing chapter. Protect Hip-Hop. It’s nonetheless presupposed to be a power for good.

By the best way…

Remember when Diddy tweeted, “Damn it hurts in a whole other way when someone you felt and I mean really felt was your Friend, Betrays you. It hurts when Breathe [sic].”

Crazy!
