New Jersey producer Just Blaze was interviewed by HardKnock.tv recently and said Jay Electronica’s move to London is why they haven’t been able to work together. He also talked about growing up listening to house music, and how he tried his hand at dance tracks in early 2000’s.
“I grew up on house just as much as I grew up on Hip Hop. So I was probably trying to reintroduce ‘Hip-house’ too early,” said Just Blaze after mentioning dance tracks he created for Rah Digga and Joe Budden. “But I mean it’s cool. It’s great because again that just opens the door for us to be able to play both at a party without it being a weird thing. Cause there was a certain point where if you played one at a party you wouldn’t play the other. It was either a Hip Hop party or a house party…I kinda feel like where music’s at right now you can play a little bit of everything.
A lot fans of the work Just Blaze and Jay Electronica have done together will be disappointed. Due to Jay Electronia’s move to London, it has been hard for them to work together.
“Jay moved out to London. Jay’s got a situation in London. He’s doing good out there. He’s happy out there,” Just Blaze explained to HardKnock.tv. “I personally, I can’t be out [in London]. My life is here in the U.S. We’ve gotten back in the studio, we’ve sat down, we’ve chopped it up, we’ve exchanged some ideas and what not but in terms of being heavily at work we’re not really.”
