Need this out right now. Weak year for hip hop but this should give it a nice boost. Will be buying the album and the shirt and most likely tickets for whenever they come here.

UPDATE 10/9: After Just Blaze's commitment to MTJ, a slew of other popular producers have also committed to help produce our project.  The list of producers now includes, El-P, Just Blaze, The Alchemist. Geoff Barrow, Skywlkr, Zola Jesus, Nick Rook, Baauer, Prince Paul, Dan The Automator, Boots, and Tier Contributor Solidified Sun.  Stay Tuned!!!!

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.
