Run the Jewels
with Gaslamp Killer, Gangsta Boo, Nick Hook, Cuz
Since their start four years back, it’s been said that Killer Mike and El-P are so stylistically different, their pairing in Run the Jewels shouldn’t work. But it does, and maybe their stark contrast is the reason. Regardless, there are now three incredible albums’ worth of Mike’s smooth, effortless flows matched with El-P’s dry, chaffing rhymes. With a deep catalog of politically progressive raps laid over dynamic, driving beats, expect tracks like the head-nod ready “Down,” the hypnotic “Legend Has It” and the rapid, rabid “Close Your Eyes” to set the crowd off. With the Gaslamp Killer, Gangsta Boo, Nick Hook and Cuz.

press release: "RTJ3 is essentially the Run The Jewels manifesto, an outpouring of rage and defiance that is never overcome by the moment and never loses sight of the objectives."- PITCHFORK
"Hearing these two veteran rappers falling ever deeper into sync and endlessly one-upping themselves has been exhilarating, like hopping aboard a mine car hurtling toward Earth's molten core and howling 'Eureka!' all the way down." - STEREOGUM
