After over a decade of delays, Jay Electronica’s debut album, A Written Testimony, has finally arrived. While the elusive artist kept the finer details under wraps, TIDAL put on listening sessions on March 12 in Los Angeles, New York, and New Orleans. This is his first release since his 2007 mixtape Act I: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge).

On February 7 of this year, the unthinkable happened: Jay Electronica, the beloved and barely heard-from rapper and producer who stunned with his debut mixtape Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge) back in 2007, announced that his debut album A Written Testimony was done and ready for release. The news was taken with a healthy dose of skepticism: Electronica has released a mere six songs since Eternal Sunshine, and only eighteen guest appearances — an average of less than two a year.

Jay Tilin, a postproduction veteran and head of production at New York-based Goldcrest Post since 2017, died Feb. 12 on Long Island of complications from ALS, a company spokeswoman said.

Naughty, naughty Joe! Joe Jonas was spotted patting his pregnant wife Sophie Turner's butt during a stroll in Studio City, near Los Angeles, on Friday. The 24-year-old Game of Thrones actress wore a David Bowie raglan shirt over light gray shorts and walked while holding a thick sweatshirt in front of her stomach.

Joe Jonas, 30, was feeling a little feisty on March 6. While taking a walk with wife Sophie Turner, 24, in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Studio City, the singer gave her derriere a love tap! Befitting Joe’s playful mood was his T-shirt, which displayed a print of Bart Simpson kicking back with the slogan, “Genius at work…Do not disturb.” Sophie’s top paid homage to another icon, David Bowie, and she kept the rest of her outfit casual with athletic short shorts and pink-lace sneakers.

So, who was Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner shopping for on Monday when they hit up a baby store in Studio City? The singer, 30, and actress, 24, were photographed looking through a rack of what appeared to be kids’ costumes.

Set for release in May
