Jay Electronica Delivers a “Prelude to a Freestyle” (Video & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 03/17/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Videos, Jay Electronica

Before I bounce for SXSW I wanted to leave y'all with a gem in the for of Jay Electronica's "Prelude to a Freestyle". Part Saul Williams, part Biggie, part whatever other comparisons you want to throw in, "Prelude" is simply some intense lyricism of the beautiful beat from Kanye's "Devil in a Blue Dress".

"My uncle Charles comin out of the VA like the Clipse." Goddamn. Download link is below the video, full lyrics can be found at 2Dope for those interested.

Great freestyle, I'd like for him to get in the studio and do it again for better quality. The original song is one of my favourites of 2010- top five, easy.

Also, you've done this a couple of times and I totally understand why you say it/remember it like that, but for the next time, it's Devil in a New* Dress, lol

He probably remembers it from that Denzel movie lol. I been noticing that too.

Elec is too good. He comes u pwith some genius words to string together that just sound so good together. Jay-Z knows the people hes signing, I just hope he pushes them to work and lets them put out their albums the way they want to.

I agree and I also hope he pushes them in to the industry; Willow has like two videos now.
