Edit: I realised that was in no way funny, listen to Blu and Elzhi


I've heard Blu and Elzhi. Anything else?

Big K.R.I.T, Ab Soul & Lupe Fiasco (although you've probably heard of all of them). Nezz will provide better answers i'd imagine though, so hold tight.

Actually I've not listened to Big K.R.I.T; saw his name on last.fm page for similar artists though. What should I listen to?

Blu and Elzhi are probably the two most similar artists to Jay Elec I can think of. Maybe try these (if you haven't already):


Train Of Thought by Reflection Eternal


Monkey Barz by Sean Price


Cassette 3 The Marion Morrison Mixtape by Jonwayne


Internal Affairs by Pharoahe Monch


Jeanius by Jean Grae


Bred A Dedication by Zeroh


Masters Of The Universe by Binary Star


Revolution Cocktail by Reks


Trophies by Apollo Brown & OC


The Best Part by J Live


A Long Hot Summer by Masta Ace


The Realness by Cormega


Boy Meets World by Fashawn


In Search Of Stoney Jackson by Strong Arm Steady

OK, some of those towards the end maybe aren't very similar. But they're all pretty dope.

Actually, K.R.I.T.'s a good shout. My favourite is Live From The Underground, but you can't go wrong with K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, Return of 4eva or 4eva N a Day.

I've been listening to Elzhi a lot lately, especially Elmatic. The Preface didn't impress me so much, namely because the beats weren't anything to go crazy over, which is a shame because Elzhi is one of the most impressive rappers I've heard in a while.

Are the any albums similar in style to Elmatic? The whole album seems so sharp and punchy, and it really paints a sweeping picture of the violent life in the city. It's no doubt helped by the beats from Illmatic, but the reworking of the beats and Elzhi's aggressive rapping style make it really compelling to listen to. Does anything else have this energy? I was really hoping The Preface would.

I'll be flicking through the albums listed above in the meantime.

Again, I'd really just recommend the albums above. Mainly the first five or six.

Thanks; that's more than I could hope for, your brain must be huge ๐Ÿคฃ I've heard only 4 of those and they were before I listened to Jay E, so they may sound different now! Actually I see that zeroh album is from this year; is it any good?

It's OK. I much prefer the Jonwayne one, but what zeroh does is pretty cool. He's a strange dude.
