Dead Prez were recently rumored to be signing a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label.

When GangStarr’s Keith “Guru” Elam passed away earlier this year, hip-hop lost one of its most gifted (no pun intended) lyricists.

Recent Roc Nation signee Jay Electronica performed at Toronto’s Manifesto festival this past weekend and is now drawing criticism from festival organizers over a segment of his show where he claims that all women like to be roughed up during sex.

Hide ya kids, hide ya wife. The world is apparently coming to an end very soon.

Fresh off the announcement of his deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, Jay Electronica has dropped his first song with the label, appropriately titled “The Announcement.”

Roc Nation’s newest signee Jay Electronica performs “Dear Moleskine,” “Exhibit A (Transformations),” and “Exhibit C” after being introduced by Jay-Z at The Box in New York City on November 12, 2010. [Spotted @ Rap-Up.com]
