Jay Electronica’s Act II: The Patents of Nobility (The Turn) has disappeared from TIDAL. The long-shelved album was leaked earlier this year, before it got released exclusively on TIDAL on October 5. Jay Electronica’s official debut album, A Written Testimony, was released in March 2020 and is still available to stream across platforms.
Prior to Act II’s TIDAL release, Jay Electronica tweeted, “please be patient w us, we are working to clear samples and have this up on Tidal asap. Thank You All.” He also wrote, “I actually tried to block this from coming out, but Allah is the best of planners. Also (I have to say this), thank you to all my day ones who never lost faith. Please forgive me for leaving y’all hanging all this time.” The tweets have since been deleted.
