Jay Electronica and a few of his BBM friends.
Since getting his monumental "Exhibit C" record played on Hot 97 and enduring all of the accompanying challenger freestyles, Jay Electronica's probably been collecting more industry contacts than Superhead at a DJ Khaled video shoot.

The idea seemed noble, if not masochistic, until Jay "Telephonica" began posting mystery pin numbers, alluding to posting the contacts of other celebs including Talib Kweli, famed music scribe Dream Hampton and even Diddy. The latest of these even came with a warning to "hurry and add because when they realize i did this they are gonna shut phone down."
