Noname threatens to cancel new album release after criticism of Jay Electronica feature

Noname has threatened to cancel the release of her new album after fans reacted critically to news of a feature from Jay Electronica.Earlier this year, the Chicago rapper announced new album ‘Sundial’, which is set to come out this month and follows ‘Room 25’.This week, she confirmed a release date of July 21, and that the song ‘Balloons’ would feature Electronica alongside Eryn Allen Kane.In response, fans have criticised the move, pointing towards Electronica’s continued support of Kanye West and a record of his in which he refers to himself as “Jaydolf Spitler, rap Hitler.”Noname then took to Twitter to share her anger at the criticism, and threaten to pull the album release at the last minute.“n***as legit rap about actual murder and sexual assault that they commit in real life and y’all can’t take a jay elect verse?,” she began (via The Fader), adding that she thinks the backlash came because she is considered “the mascot for the woke mob”.Then, in a further series of tweets, she added: “y’all want the album, fine,” adding in another tweet about her responses: “oh the song fa sho coming out lol. the album is another story.

Grammy Awards’ Rap Race: Can Anyone Best Kendrick Lamar?

Kyle Eustice For the first time in … well, maybe ever, hip-hop fans applauded the Recording Academy in 2021 for “getting it right.” Nominees in the rap album category included unconventional releases that weren’t necessarily expected to get the nod: Freddie Gibbs and the Alchemist’s critically acclaimed “Alfredo,” D Smoke’s “Black Habits,” Royce Da 5’9’s “The Allegory,” Jay Electronica’s long-awaited debut, “A Written Testimony,” and the winner, Nas’ “King’s Disease,” which netted the mighty 25-year vet his first Grammy.  The following year’s noms followed suit, with mentions going to Tyler, the Creator’s “Call Me if You Get Lost,” Nas’ “King Disease II,” J. Cole’s “The Off-Season,” Kanye West’s “Donda” and Drake’s “Certified Lover Boy” (although the famous Grammy skeptic decided to withdraw the project before the votes were cast). Now the question remains: Will the streak continue?

Old vs. new school: the best rap album debate at the Grammys

LOS ANGELES -- Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch, Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby have blazed the Billboard charts, but Grammy voters gave the young hip-hop stars the cold shoulder in the best rap album category, instead, surprisingly nominating the genre’s more matured voices like Nas and Jay Electronica.Some were baffled by the academy's decision to push through some lesser-known projects in the category instead of the popular chart-topping albums that have dominated streaming services with record numbers.
