We’ll believe it when we see it.

Jay Electronica has been more of a tabloid staple than maybe he’d prefer to be in recent months, with his relationship with Kate Rothschild becoming more of a focus than any music he’s ever turned his hand to, but according to a report from the NME that’s all about to change.

Producer Jeymes Samuel (who also goes under the moniker The Bullits) has confirmed that the long-awaited full-length is indeed done, saying “Honestly, it’s in the last stages of recording. It’s just tinkering. Just putting the final… you know when a builder builds a house? And when he’s finished the walls he gives them one little brush over like a once over? And then the album will be done.”

He added “His album is amazing, it’s remarkable. It is the perfect… It goes hand in hand with ‘Yeezus’ and ‘Magna Carta…’. They go hand in hand… Also, also… It’s weird how Jay Z is intricately involved with all of us, but all the albums sound so different.”

This certainly supports Electronica’s cryptic tweet of “ok, now it’s my turn,” soon after Jay Z dropped the polarizing Magna Carta Holy Grail. Whether the album will actually emerge in 2013 though remains to be seen.
