El-P + Killer Mike = Run the Jewels (RTJ 4 - OUT NOW!)

So, as you may know Mike and Producto jokingly announced a "special edition" of their upcoming Run The Jewels 2 album, in which the album would be re-recorded using nothing but the sounds of cats, for $40,000. Hilariously enough, some fans would then launch a Kickstarter and not only raised the 40 racks but exceeded it. So now, true to their word, Run The Jewels will recreate the album as Meow The Jewels. Peep the hilarious trailer below.

Featuring the likes of Just Blaze, The Alchemist, Dan the Automator, Prince Paul, and many others, the "new" version of the album will release sometime after RTJ2 drops on October 27th. The money that was raised to "make" the album, however, will instead be donated to the families of Mike Brown and Eric Garner.

Good stuff

Forgot the album was coming out shortly
 
Almost forgot!

I went ahead and put my money down for MTJ. I've been meaning to do it for some time now.
 
I coulda sworn they were coming to the Fox Theatre next month but now it's the Mezzanine?

This album is going to be fantastic.

The meow the jewels concept is hilarious.  Will be buying the album.  Even though they are giving it away 
 
I couldn't sleep, so I just started checking email and I got an email from Jaime and Mike, I was like wth is this and it said download now, did that and I don't regret it.

  This album is dope.
 
Listening right now on my phone at work, can't wait to bump it on better speakers and in my car.

First spin impressions are this is flames. :smokin

Haven't listened to a lot of new rap this year but this is easily rap album of the year.

RTJ1 is better though but this album will grow on me so we'll see in a week or so.
 
If this one gets slept one then it is a shame, to me it's better than the first, so this so just as, if not more acclaimed.

Last year everybody was putting out a record though (disappointing or not) and I think the RTJ album released between Yeezus and MCHG

I'm with you though. I hope these dudes go platinum and make like a trillion dollars.

Sad thing is, none of the albums u mentioned even came close to RTJ. I also hope these dudes get their shine and dollars. Its really what hip hop needs IMO and its just good music.

On my third listen right now...

On first listen, I like #1 better
.. But I think that's cause there is so much there... So many little things.... That I'm starting to pick up upon now... It's so ******* dope... I love these guys so much... I'm sure this will be my favorite album all year... Unless Action drops something soon... And this is a free album, bah gahd...

Was listening at work tonight in the kitchen... And my boss just comes over and says... Why the **** do I hear Zach rapping?... Thought that was funny as ****...
 
Was wondering why this thread was bumped (didn't actually notice the title change). Had no idea they had a part two. Will listen in awhile. Only listened to Love Again so far, and man, Gangsta Boo is so nasty, yet I'm ok with that :lol: :lol:
