After being asked about working with Jay Electronica on his new album, Common told only good things about the New Orleans Rapper: “I have a ultimate respect for Jay Electronica,” he said when asked about why he brought him on tour. “I think he’s one of the dopest emcees. I can go back and listen to his raps he did in 2010 and be inspired. He’s timeless already. His emceeing abilities is high level. It feeds me the way it always fed me. Hip Hop provides so many things for me.”
