And so the ever-elusive, ever creative Jay Electronica returns with “Exhibit C,” a new track produced by Just Blaze. My first thought upon seeing this was, “about time.” Jay hasn’t released anything in an oddly long time, especially after building such a strong buzz in 2008 when he released “Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge).” Then again, he and Ms. Badu had a baby this year, so I’ll cut him some slack. I usually would never post a radio rip of anything because I’m a stickler for sound quality, but this song is too tight to wait on. Despite the radio hiss and low quality of this version, Jay Elect does what he does best, mixing gritty street mythology and careful introspection with serious lyrical acrobatics. Here’s to hoping that Jay will put out music more frequently from now on, although as odd and unconventional as he is, I don’t have my hopes up. Props to The Full Clip for putting me onto this dude in the first place. Check out the track below:

And in case you’ve been sleeping, here’s Jay’s opus, a song that I consider an underground classic, which features him blacking out over beatless loops from Jon Brion’s Eternal Sunshine score. Peep:
