The New Orleans rapper announced in early February that he would be releasing the album “in 40 days.” He also informed his followers that the project was recorded over the course of 40 days and 40 nights, beginning in December.

Earlier this week, producer/engineer Young Guru shared a photo of himself, Jay Electronica, JAY-Z, and Lawrence “Law” Parker in a recording studio. The photo fueled rumors that Hov is heavily involved in the album. While JAY-Z is not listed as a guest, it's a possibility he could be featured on the album as an uncredited artist. 

A Written Testimony is dropping almost a decade after Electronica signed to Roc Nation in November 2010. Since then, the rapper has released a few singles, has been featured on some songs, and teased his debut countless times.
