The million dollar question in rap for the past few years has been: Where in the fuck has Jay Electronica been? Besides popping up randomly in an Erykah Badu interview or going on a Twitter rant, the man has been non-existent from music, the culture and our thoughts.
In what seems like out of the blue sky, Casper appears with a short film/commercial spot for Toyota, where he is ironically rapping. Paint is dropped on speakers of the “Music in Motion” clip (directed by Jason Goldwatch), making a painting out of his own lyrics and beats. Not to mention, the painting is of himself. It’s actually a dope concept and idea, but how it ties into the brand spanking new Toyota Avalon, we’ll never know.
This might be the closest we get to hearing raps from him for a while because so far, we’ve gotten absolutely nothing. The funny part is, not one bar was heard in the video.
