Jay Electronica Performing Live At North Coast Music Festival [Video]

Directed By: Cam Be

Labour Day weekend was really crazy in Union Park in Chicago, IL.  On September 4, 2010, the North Coast Music Festival (Being the last music festival of the Summer) shook Chicago up!  Jay Electronica performed and rocked the stage tremendously!  This was a treat to all music lovers and hip-hop heads to witness the hip-hop heavyweight live in action.  Jay Electronica expressed his love for Chicago, stating that at one time he lived in Chicago.  The sea of people recited every rhyme word for word with excitement.  The Goodie Bag was on-hand to capture this sacred moment with Jay Electronica during his performance of Ghost Of Christopher Wallace” and “Exhibit A Transformations”.

Jay Electronica performed to the fullest extent, bringing the festival to a high climax.  As the show went on, Jay Electronica sparked a freestyle session.  He grabbed a young emcee from the crowd to kick a couple of rhymes.  The kid did some justice with several metaphorical punches.  In conclusion, it was an iconic performance being the fact that Black Milk was on stage with Jay Electronica the entire time.  Jay Electronica dubbed Black Milk the future of hip-hop at this show.  Incredible!
