About Run The Jewels

No track is safe with the combination of Killer Mike’s aggressive flow straight from the ATL and the lyrical backflips and dense production by Brooklyn son and underground legend El-P.

The duo were first acquainted on Mike’s fully El produced and critically-acclaimed 2012 LP, R.A.P. Music. The two came together in 2013 to release an outstanding self-titled album that was widely considered one of the best Hip-Hop albums of the year. The name of the group is from the intro to LL Cool J’s “Cheesy Rat Blues”:

Just throw your hands in the air
And wave ‘em like you just don’t care
Keep 'em there
Yo, run the jewels, run the jewels, run the jewels

One year later in 2014, they launched an even more brutal sequel, Run the Jewels 2. Later that year, El-P got stoned and dared people on Twitter to make a Kickstarter campaign to remix the album. Eventually, the remixed album was named Meow the Jewels (featuring, you guessed it, cat sounds) and it surpassed its goal of $45,100. The money from the campaign went to charity, and they released it for free like their previous albums and even pressed it on vinyl.

In 2016, they returned once again and dropped “A Christmas F@cking Miracle” with Run the Jewels 3. This album displays Mike & El still dropping all of those crazy verses and dope rhymes as expected, but the third instalment is much more personal and touches on politics.
