May God bless him all the way to the moon with blessings. People have been making music, doing plays and telling stories around fires for trillions of years. I like albums but I’m not too really handcuffed to the concept of that. An album is something that was created by corporations as a product to make money. Then again, an album is a false concept anyway. I have to be at a place where I’m pleased with the offering. When it’s finished. When it’s something that I’m pleased with because regardless of the six billion people on planet Earth, even if I put something out and the whole six billion say it’s absolutely beautiful and I don’t feel okay with it, I’m the one that carries that. But I guess the question you asked me is what will it take. So it’s almost like it’s not a thing that’s just normal to get asked that. Say like with Jay, that’s almost like, “How’s the weather now?” If I walk outside right now, go across the street and if somebody recognize me, the first question they gonna ask me is, “When is the album coming?” It don’t matter if Donald Trump say, “Put the album out.” Maybe if Minister Farrakhan said put the album out then maybe I might go home tonight and throw something together and put it out. "A Written Testimony", even if it's nothing new, it's the good things of what it already exists.When it’s ready, when it’s ready. On the other side, it risks to share his vision in popular Hip Hop and achieves a couple of tracks that will make people dance. Even though that, the attractiveness can be seen, the melodies will easily be popular, alludes to the nostalgia with his samples and he uses loops to create that classic essence of reflexive and observational Hip-Hop.
The lyrics are personal and intimate, but the production, where he is the main best in between all of the other 8, doesn't propose an important differentiator. For being a debut album there's a lot to wish. "A Written Testimony", aunque no es nada nuevo, el lo bueno de lo ya existe. Por otro lado también se ariesga a compartir su propia visión de Hip Hop popular y logra un par de track de harán bailar a la gente. A pesar de eso, el atractivo es evidente, las melodías fácilmente serán populares, alude a la nostalgia con los samples y usa loops para generar esa clásica esencia del Hip-Hop reflexibo y de observación. Las letras son personales e intimas, pero la producción, a cargo de un grupo de productores en la que destaca él mismo, no propone un diferenciador importante. Las letras son personales e intimas, pero la producción, a cargo de un ( 77/100 ) Para ser una álbum debut, realmente hay mucho que desear.

For others who may only give this album a glance, without Hov's name on the track list they may skip over it whereas they may have jumped on it with his name attached. Jay Elec also positioned himself back into the underground by not including Jay Z on the track list which for some came as a nice surprise. It was well worth the 10 year wait for this album and it will for sure be on repeat for the underground and dedicated listener. The lyricism and production is unlike anything mainstream music has heard since Freddie Gibbs and Madlib's "Bandana". Jay Elec himself produced most of the songs while The Alchemist, No-ID, Hit Boy and Swizz Beats lend a hand. This is 100% a joint album between the two and an effort to spread the teachings of the Nation of Islam while also smoothly skating on incredible beats. It allows for a new generation to learn from the patience and articulation Jay Electronica expresses here with the help of Jay Z. In a world of mumble rap and amidst a massive release from Lil Uzi Vert in the same week this album is a lyrical refresher for the hip-hop In a world of mumble rap and amidst a massive release from Lil Uzi Vert in the same week this album is a lyrical refresher for the hip-hop genre.
