Whenever Killer Mike and El-P aka Run The Jewels drop anything it's always a good day. Having previously shared the track 'Ooh LA LA' featuring Nice & Smooth's Greg Nice and Hip-Hop production king DJ Premiere, RTJ have now dropped the official video. The visuals are legendary in themselves considering that not only is this one big street party what appears to be a celebration of the ending of capitalism, but you can also catch a cameo by the one and only Zack De La Rocha. Factor in Greg Nice and Preemo also appearing in the video as well as a whole heap of people dancing, this is possibly what it may look like when the coronavirus lock down is finally over! 'Ooh LA LA' is directed by Brian and Vanessa Beletic, with El-P being the co-creative.
Our fave Hip-Hop duo Run The Jewels have not only shared a new track to help you get through these crazy times but they have actually unveiled two songs. The first cut titled 'Yankee And The Brave (ep.4)' finds the NYC/ATL pair dropping the hardest bars over the chest-punching production in wonderful RTJ fashion. The second song 'Ooh LA LA' features Hip-Hop legend DJ Premiere and the vocals of Greg Nice saying his infamous line "Ooh la la, ah oui oui", which many fans may remember from his feature on Gangstarr's 'DWYCK'. Killer Mike and El P again go lyrically in beast mode over a twisted piano loop.
Danny Brown joins forces with Run The Jewels for the song and video '3 Tearz'. Directed by Colin Read and filmed in a warehouse in Brooklyn, the visuals feature the three emcees taking back on some raw Hip-Hop vibe, simply spraying bars on a mic in a circle of people who are holding up video cameras and smoking weed!
Run The Jewels originally scheduled their album 'RTJ3' to land on the 13th of January, however, the duo gave fans a treat by releasing it shortly before Christmas. Ironically the impact of the sudden availability was so great that the Run The Jewels website literally crashed! The new album features appearances by Danny Brown, Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio, Trina and more.
If anyone should get an award from consistency it's Run The Jewels. Practically the saving graces of Hip-Hop over the past few years, El-P and Killer Mike are set to release their forthcoming 'RTJ3' LP on the 13th of January, 2017.
The duo have shared their song 'Legend Has It' which is featured on the upcoming new album. In glorious RTJ fashion, Mike and El-P dish out lyrical beat downs over skippy drums, sporadic chopped guitar licks and husky synths. Raw and gritty, it looks like Run The Jewels may have yet again another classic on their hands.
Apparently Run The Jewels are in the studio working on the new RTJ3 album. El-P posted a snippet of a track to his Instagram, giving fans a quick fifteen second teaser. Again, this is only a very small dose of what can be expected. Although we're certain that many people will complain about it being too short, all we can say is, it's better than nothing! It's probably safe to say that the new album is going to be another consecutive Hip-Hop beat down to the official "f--k boys". Check it out.

Although Run the Jewels have clearly released two classic Hip-Hop albums, what's also quite exciting is the fact that they have shared a track from their cat-constructed 'Meow the Jewels' remix LP. Reworking the song 'Oh My Darling' is none other than producer Just Blaze, who transforms the track into an apocalyptic piece fresh with the harmony of cats meowing in the background. You can download the song via Run the Jewels' website.
