I didn't leak this, so it could hypothetically be this Noe guy (never heard of him before, but he does sound similar Jay).
I saw the accusation it's him on KTT too. BUT. Has anyone been able to actually link one of the snippets to a Noe song? I feel like this is real, for a few reasons:
-Em produced for Jay on The Black Album, makes sense he would give him the beat before Lloyd Banks, and Lloyd's song came out in 2004.
-Wiki tells me Noe's 1st project came out in 2007. It seems weird he'd be rapping over all these vintage 03/04 Kanye beats, wouldn't he be on Diplomat type shit?
-We just gonna ignore the song with John Legend? How would Noe pull that off? It'd definitely him.
-Why would Noe have all this dope original production?
-Camron was signed to Rocafella in 03 and 04, makes perfect sense Jim Jones would have collabed with Jay around then.
-I googled the lyrics to all the snippets, nothing comes up at all, even the Jim Jones verse.
-We just gonna ignore "Jay" saying young multiple times?
-The production on half of these sounds exactly like good Kanye production, which isn't easily imitated.
