Jay- Z Announces Jay Electronica's Signing to Roc Nation

2010-11-13T06:20:00.000-08:00

Exclusive: Jay-Z signs Jay Electronica to Roc Nation
MissInfo got the scoop:

Tonight, Jay E.’s friends, family, fans and critics are packed into The Box, to announce that he’s officially part of Jay-Z’s Roc Nation roster.

Earlier I spoke to Jay E. about the big news, and his plans. He said that the actual contract was signed on Saturday, after a few weeks of intense daily communication and creative courtship. How did it start? With a chance meeting at the Spotted Pig. How did Electronica know Hov was serious? His second replay email came attached with a verse. That ended up becoming the Jay Electronica and Jay-Z collaboration “Shiny Suit Theory” (featuring French chanteuse Charlotte Gainsbourg and The-Dream).

There’s irony in the fact Jay-Z appears on a Jay Elec song that’s based on Diddy’s description of Jay Elec. Because Diddy has been mentoring and courting Jay for over a year, in the hopes of signing him as well. Electronica insists he values everything Puff contributed and hopes to have him involved in his career, but said “Jay-Z made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. And I have the freedom I need too.”

The natural of the underground, the anti-establishment, the independent artist is rapidly changing…so I’m anxious to see what happens when Jay the conglomerate and Jay the mystic mix commerce and art.

Nina Simone (High Priestess of Soul)

2010-11-11T06:23:00.000-08:00

One of my all-time favourite Artists from the 60s and 80s

A singer, songwriter, pianist, producer, and a civil rights activist. An all round superstar if I should say...lol

Don't really know much about her but it's safe to say that she followed in the tradition of those that came before her like Sarah Vaughan, Ella and Billie

Love the fact that you can’t really categorise her style of music. Aside from putting her in a box (categorising her style of music), her vocal style is filled with intense passion with an unusually low vocal range which makes her the more sensational and lovely to listen to.

The lady who paid great attention to the musical expression of emotions....

I give you....

Nina Simon.
