Jay Electronica will be putting on a rare performance at this year's Paid Dues Festival.

The elusive Jay Electronica will be performing at the Paid Dues Festival in September this year. The two-day event, which takes place at Los Angeles' Pershing Square, will also include performances from Freddie Gibbs, The Cool Kids, and Nipsey Hussle, as well as headlining performances from Ab-Soul, Lil Wayne, and Raekwon and Ghostface.

Electronica will also be performing at the Fool's Gold Day Off festival in New York City alongside A-Trak, PNB Rock, Remy Banks, and many others.

The reclusive rapper released a new song titled "Letter To Falon" a couple of months ago after being inspired by Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant.

Prior to that, during an NBA All-Star Weekend event in New Orleans (where Electronica is originally from) that Electronica and Jay-Z were both attending, the latter told the former "Let's go put the album out, let's go." The comment was in reference to Electronica being signed to Jay's Roc Nation entertainment company, and the fact that Electronica still has not released his Act II: The Turn album, with release dates, tracklists, and announcements having come and gone.
