Video: Jay Electronica - Exhibit A Live at the Jazz Cafe in London
Semtex on the video:
"Seeing Jay Electronica live is an expericnce to say the least, I can’t admit to seeing every major Hip Hop artist of recent history perform but I have seen a lot of them. Jay Electronica is different though, his performance, intelligence, word play and general charisma make for an unforgettable show, its shows like tonight that make me love hip hop. Jay Elec tore down the Jazz Cafe in London tonight [Feb 18], his 2nd show, both shows were sold out. 1 person actually tried to pay £500 to get into the venue to see Jay Elec perform."
Ha! A lot of you know I'm from the T.dot and lived in NYC forever but how many of you know I was actually born in England?? Now the cylce is complete!
I don't normally give conspircay theories much air time but newshounds, is there anything to what Jay is talking about WRT Hurricane Katrina when he stops the song halfway through the video?

DJ Semtex Chipmunk interview
I f-cks with this kid. Here's Semtex's plug for his interview with him:
"He came in the game at the age of 16. Over the last 2 years he's put in the relentless grind, he's got the streets, the airwaves, the Grade A's in School and College. Now at the age of 18 he's just signed a major label deal with Sony. As you can see from this interview, he has a very big future ahead of him. He's more articulate than most of your favourite MCs who have been in the game for a minute."
