El-P and Killer Mike, 2 of hip-hop’s most respected, credible & formidable artists, first joined forces in 2012 on Killer Mike’s classic album, R.A.P. Music, produced by El-P. Mike then appeared on El-P's smashing solo album Cancer 4 Cure. That experience became a creative marriage resulting in the birth of the group Run the Jewels. After much anticipation, they released their self-titled debut album in 2013 on Fool's Gold for free as a ‘thank you’ to fans.
Since then, Run the Jewels album has become one of the most celebrated hip hop acts of the past year and toured to worldwide acclaim. Now they’re back for Round 2 - RTJ2 - and it’s time to unleash fresh new music on the ravenous hordes. Freshly signed to Mass Appeal Records (the new label of rap legend Nas), RTJ2 is a boisterously brilliant and powerful follow up album featuring appearances from notable artists and producers including Zack De La Rocha (Rage Against the Machine), Travis Barker (Blink 182), BOOTS (Beyonce), Diane Coffee and more. The album will be available worldwide October 27th as a free download via www.runthejewels.net and for sale in your favorite music store. Get it.
Bringing their successful stateside tour to the UK in December, Run the Jewels will perform headline shows in both Manchester and London. Their critically acclaimed new live showcase will see the hip-hop duo preview the new material of their debut album Run The Jewels 2.
