Hip-hop's preeminent collaboration between veteran rhyme-slayers El-P and Killer Mike have gone from a whim-driven underground rap project to a worldwide sensation since the release of their 2013 debut Run The Jewels.
Run the Jewels - RTJ4 CD; El-P’s jagged production and Killer Mike’s furnace-voice sharpen a batch of compact, furious tracks; features 'Yankee and the Brave' plus guest turns from Pharrell and Mavis Staples.
Run The Jewels may have been what catapulted Mike from the hip-hop scene into the mainstream, but this album will secure his legacy as one of the best rappers to ever come out of the South.
Ships 6/5/26 - Run the Jewels 2 arrives as a hefty 180g single-LP gatefold for its 10th anniversary, restoring Gangsta Boo’s verse and finally adding the Japan-only bonus 'Blockbuster Night Pt. 2' (feat. Despot & Wiki).
Originally released in 1987 as a film soundtrack, this expressly ambient work by the Japanese composer is based on the Gagaku style of ancient Japanese court music, but with a shimmer of tones created by one person using a computer.
