Jay Electronica and Diddy have been hard at work in the studio working on Electronica’s still untitled debut. However some recent footage of the two banging out a special track called “The Ghost Of Christopher Wallace” leaked out and has the internet going nuts. Jay spoke a little bit on the track and let us know how it all came about.
“I’m blessed, man. I had records with Just Blaze, records with Puff. That record came from Twitter. I was on Twitter asking for beats through iChat. Quincy Tones [who produced ‘Wallace’] sent the beat. I was sitting on that one line: ‘The game ain’t been the same since B.I.G. died/ And Wu swarmed on New York from out that beehive.’ I had been sitting on that for two weeks. I didn’t do nothing with it. Then I took a swim on it. I called Puff like, ‘I’mma do this.’ He said, ‘Come to the studio right now. I need to get on that.’ It was a crazy night. A lot of energy.”
As far as Puff doing his signature sh*t talking at the end of the track, Jay said that was all part of the plan.
“I told him to,” Electronica explained. “That’s the Puff I love. That’s the Puff I wanna hear. I grew up listening to Biggie records and all these other records. I hear both sides of the coin; some people like it, some people don’t. He went long. We was supposed to go in the studio the next day with the engineer and only uses pieces. But I told him, ‘Leave it all the way in.’ I wanted it like that. A lot of times when I leave skits on there, it serves the same purpose. It’s keeping the atmosphere and the energy.” (MTV)
