Just Blaze Drops Two New Beats on Soundcloud

Last night (Feb. 22), the world was focused on Los Angeles, where the move industry's best and, ahem, brightest gathered for a predictably over-the-top celebration of the last year's biggest achievers. But if anyone knows how to concoct fanfare out of thin air, it's Just Blaze. The New York-based producer took to Soundcloud--unceremoniously, for what it's worth--to drop off two new beats, and they're as arresting as you would expect.

The first cut is tagged as "Moleskin Conclusion," apparently a reference to Jay Electronica's "Dear Moleskine," a song that became famous in internet circles despite a properly finished version never being released. Of the song, Blaze said, "This was supposed to be the conclusion to "Dear Moleskine".. recorded some time back in London. Oh well.. Write your own tale of depression and eventual redemption! Best of luck!" That doesn't sound too promising for fans of Electronica, who have been awaiting his Act II: Patents Of Nobility (The Turn) for over half a decade now.

The second beat, "Miracle" has gone through an industry wringer of a different kind. Blaze explains: "Jay asked me to hold this for him and Jeezy. Ross did something with it. Chris Brown wanted it badly but couldn't find the right vocal flow for it once we got in studio. Canei wanted to pass it to Cole, but it was held up by someone else who actually cut me a check for it. Then it ended up just sitting, and I was weird about playing it for folks. Everyone who heard it thought it was amazing but couldn't come up with a song to it lol. Understandable though. There's a LOT going on. S/o to Canei on the godly piano riffs that are different each time throughout the entire track. Man.."
