New Super Group(Jay Electronica+Mos Def+Curren$y)

"Just chillin'" with Dame Dash may have just spawned a rap supergroup project. On Wednesday, at Dash's new facility (art gallery, TV studio, music studio and more), DD172, critically acclaimed underground lyricist Curren$y told MTV News that he, Jay Electronica and Mos Def have combined forces to start recording an entire album together.

"That's ridiculous!" Curren$y said. "Jay Electronica is from my city, he's from New Orleans. I never met homie until I stepped foot in this building. He came here to meet Mos. And Mos, I had only known him for 24 hours prior to that. But genuine people could recognize [each other], it was like, 'Let's go.' "

Curren$y said Mos came up with the name of "Center Edge Territory" for the trio. When asked exactly what the moniker means, Curren$y would only comment emphatically, "Everything! That's everything!

"We all know the game is in turmoil. We know the machine messed it up," he added, explaining why they will be putting their music out independently instead of with a major label. "We know we don't even need to play that game, especially with access to all of this sh-. We are our own machine."

So far, Center Edge Territory have recorded six records together, but they have no concrete plans as to when the full-length album will drop.

"The funny thing, it came from just chilling," Dash said. "If you're gonna be here [at DD172], there's no hanging out.

"There's no reason to be here unless you have the ability to work or you're working," Dash explained of the space Mos nicknamed of the "24-Hour Karate School." "This is like an office where you work in a different way."

No thread about this yet but this could be awesome. Curren$y seems really out there but This Ain't no Mixtape was nice.

Yeah, Curren$y seems like a strange conclusion, but he's good so meh.

This'll probably just result in Jay dropping less songs, though. :(

They'll drop as many LPs as Jay Electronica hasColt45fool

Mos Def, colour me interested

I still am waiting for Blackstar 2 though, listening to History on The Ecstatic just made that desire stronger

Jay...just drop a solo album first, don't become another Crooked I...WorstGameEver

i wanna know where Exhibit B isWorstGameEver

exhibit b is just exhibit a with mos def on it and the beat has jazzier piano chords

I like this combination, you got jay the more abstract, mos def the political, and currensy the materialistic. But they're all capable of switching their styles.HerbertdaPerv
