Bobby Ray’s 2009 Highlight Reel

December 31st, 2009

About two years ago now I made my first trek to Atlanta with not much money in the wallet and some dedicated friends (What up Pro and EQ!). We went down for one of the best experiences of my life as we went to see A3C at Center Stage in Atlanta. Now the people I met down there are friends for life and the times we had were great but one of the highlights was wandered down to Turner Field for A-Town day and watching Alien and Marijuana Jesus tear it down with Era Of The Stereograph and then interview B.o.B. for the second time breifly and getting to see him rock for the first time. From then to now is an amazing journey and I’m happy to see how far he’s come. Huge shout out to B Rich and TJ for being incredibly supportive and great people.


Jay Electronica – (King Michael Jackson) Audiograph Memorial

December 31st, 2009

I made this because i have loved Michael Jackson all of my life. All of my memories from about 5 years old or so (which is about as far back as i remember with some ease) can be tied to or associated with or landmarked by some musical contribution of Michael Jackson at that time. From then, all the way to now. He is a dark fingerprint on a very large part of who I am and who most of the people I know personally are. And thats why i posted this picture along with this song. The response to this song is amazing, and overwhelming and i appreciate all of the love and support it is recieving from everywhere. And i dedicate all of this positive energy toward a Great Hero of mine (although not perfect) who has performed many miracles in his physical life and who has and will be for many moons continue to be a glowing light in the dark for those who see something better inside of themselves and have the will and desire to pursue it. Evolution. May our good works be recorded and duplicated, and may our sins be recorded and forgiven. Amen

Jay recently explained this track via his twitter. Don’t forget to go out and support Exhibit C and good Hip-Hop.
