Roc Nation’s Jay Electronica has alerted fans of the possibility of new music coming from hip-hop heavyweight Jay Z this week.

Jay Elect hopped onto his Twitter page a couple days ago and teased followers about a new Jay verse being an instant classic.

Earlier this year, footage of Jay Elect name-dropping J. Cole and rap star Drake‘s 6 God alias during a show surfaced.

“Jay Electronica is the ‘god’ of hip-hop. You might be the 6 God but I am ‘the’ god. … I’m sorry but J. Cole ain’t got bars like this. I’m sorry, whoever your favorite rapper is, they all know I’m the god.” (Daily Motion)

Coincidentally, Jay Elect recently praised Cole and called him family.

“J. Cole is a beautiful brother, he makes beautiful music,” Jay Elect said in an interview. “That’s family. I spoke with him a few times over the phone and I wouldn’t necessarily say we’re on an everyday communication type basis but I love J. Cole. That’s my brother and I support him in everything he does. He just released his [2014 Forest Hills Drive] album not too long ago, it’s a beautiful album.” (The Beat 99.9)

Electronica also talked about rap star Kendrick Lamar‘s To Pimp a Butterfly album and shouted out G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean.

“I like Kendrick Lamar’s new album. I like ‘Blacker The Berry.’ I like that. Is that [where he raps], ‘I’m the biggest hypocrite of 2015.’ Is that the one? I like that record. I still haven’t heard [it all]. … We love Kendrick Lamar, that’s our brother. He’s on the right path. May Allah bless him on his journey – I would be a liar to say I don’t like none of these new guys. … Big Sean be getting busy. He’s one of the best out – he gets busy and to be quite honest, a lot of Drake’s early stuff was based on Big Sean’s style. I always felt he took his style and ran with it. That’s Big Sean all the way.” (The Beat 99.9)
