Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/a> shared a message about hip-hop, and he used his spot on Jay Electronica<\/a>‘s new album to deliver it. The incarcerated music mogul appears on the intro track “Abracadabra” to Electronica’s surprise album A Written Testimony: Leaflets<\/em><\/a>, which dropped Friday via Roc Nation Distribution. In addition to Diddy, the seven-song project features collaborations with DRAM<\/a> and Quentin Miller<\/a>.<\/p>\n “…Leaflets, leaflets, they want me to talk some shit. Talk some s**t about my n***a Jay Electronica,” Diddy says on the song. “I hope he put out this motherfucking album, he ain’t bullshitting, for real, man \u2018cause people gotta feel that real soul, you know what I\u2019m saying?”<\/p>\n “Hip-hop is in a very, very dangerous place, you know,” Diddy continues. “Give them that shit, you know what I’m saying? Live at they souls, lift up they vibration COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Diddy’s message follows concerns from other artists about hip-hop’s state amid declining sales and “lack of originality.” Offset attributed the 2023 streaming and sales drop<\/a> to a lack of originality, while Juicy J claimed rap sales were down<\/span><\/a> 40% that year, saying, “We gotta figure some s**t out.”<\/p>\n This is Electronica’s first album in five years, coinciding with the New Orleans native\u2019s 49th birthday on September 19. The project is available to stream<\/a> on Apple Music<\/a>, Spotify, and other major platforms like Tidal<\/a>. Jay Electronica’s new project comes after the wide release of his long-shelved<\/a> album Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn)<\/em>, which is now also available on streaming platforms.<\/p>\n On July 2, Diddy was found guilty of two counts <\/a>of transportation to engage in prostitution in his federal sex trafficking trial. Since then, he has been denied bail\u00a0 and appears likely to remain incarcerated until his sentencing on October 3.<\/p>\n The 55-year-old is scheduled to be sentenced that day, while his attorneys continue to seek an acquittal or a new trial.<\/p>\n <\/a> Jay Electronica’s Beloved ‘Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn)’ Gets Streaming Release<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Diddy Trial: Mogul Found Guilty of Two Charges, Not Guilty of Sex Trafficking and Racketeering<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Diddy’s Attorneys Use ‘Amateur Porn’ Defense in Bid for a New Trial or Acquittal<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Chris Brown Deactivates Instagram After ‘Miss Me With Colorist Rage Baiting’ Post<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Curtis Daniel III Reflects on PatchWerk Recording Studios\u2019 Impact and 30-Year Legacy<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nWhat does Diddy say on Jay Electronica’s “Abracadabra” track?<\/h2>\n
