Video: Run The Jewels – “Lie Cheat Steal”

Run The Jewels continue to embrace the spotlight with consistent output of treats for their old and new fans alike. Their latest video for “Lie, Cheat, Steal” is another notch in the belt and re-teams director Ruff Mercy with the dynamic duo. The video was shot on a cold London night in a dreary outdoor parking lot, check it below…

Video: Run The Jewels – “Oh My Darling (Don't Cry)”

Run The Jewels teams up again with Timothy Saccenti  to continue their onslaught on the music biz with yet another new video to share with their fans. “Oh My Darling (Don't Cry)” is a  little more straight forward than the scripted visuals for “Blockbuster Night Part 1,” dropping a clear narrative for some slightly trippy drug induced footage of the two emcee’s rapping.

Am I the only one who is starting to think this whole Run The Jewels praise from everyone is as late as late can be? Remember when the U.S. finally fell in love with Daft Punk a good 15 plus years after everyone else did? Both these emcee’s have been releasing quality music for years yet it would seem that only now the mass public is on board, great for them but it’s all a bit strange when I see Killer Mike on CNN talking Fergeson more than I see him on TV spitting rhymes. Again both Jaime and Mike deserve the praise and have interesting things to say, I just hope these people are around once the public has moved on to their next obsession, or perhaps I’m the type of guy who would prefer if they just left now?

Video: Run The Jewels video - “Blockbuster Night Part 1”

Trevor Kane directs the latest Run The Jewels video, “Blockbuster Night Part 1.” The clip see’s the rappers half-assing it as EMT’s on the streets of Atlanta, spending their time getting up to no good. Black Lips' Cole Alexander also makes an appearance as a patient.

Download: Run the Jewels - "RTJ2" (Full LP)

I had a pretty strong feeling Run The Jewels would share their album ahead of schedule and low and behold late last night EL-P and Killer Mike did just that! RTJ2 was to see an October 27th release date via Mass Appeal, but in this day and age why wait, if that shit’s good to go I say let it go, apparently El felt the same way.

As previously reported RTJ2 features collaborations with  Zack de la Rocha,  Travis Barker, Boots, and DianeCoffee on the record which you can download in full HERE.

Listen: Run The Jewels ft. Zach De La Rocha – “Close Your Eyes And Count To Fuck”

Run The Jewels’ second free album RTJ2 is set for release on October 28th, till now El and Mike have shared two tracks, “BlockbusterNight Part 1” and “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry,” which have both been pretty great  but I’d be lying if I didn't mention my worry when I saw the guest list for the forthcoming LP. It’s not that I don’t like the names that were shared, I do, I‘m just not a big fan of guests on hip hop records, especially when the artist or artists in question already do a bang up job on their own.

“Close Your Eyes And Count To Fuck,” features former Rage Against The Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha, not just providing the vocals for the repeating hook, but also gifting us with a couple of versus. I can breathe easier as it’s still clear who’s running the show and gives me hope going forward that RJT2 is going to be just a solid as its predecessor. 

Listen: Run The Jewels – “Oh My Darling Don't Cry”

Run The Jewels have shared a second track from their forthcoming sophomore effort, Run the Jewels 2. Between “Blockbuster Night Part1” and “Oh My Darling” it would seem like its business as usual for the dynamic duo who continues to release serious yet supremely fun music without watering any of it down for the masses.

Stream the track below and since this tune also appears on the latest comp from Adult Swim Singles Series you can download that shit for for free, how's that for a Monday morning!

Listen: Run the Jewels - "Blockbuster Night Part 1"

FUCK YEAH! El-P and Killer Mike have officially announced the next Run the Jewels album. The follow up to last year's stellar self-titled effort is called RTJ2, and will drop October 28 via Nas's imprint Mass Appeal. Stream "Blockbuster Night Part 1" now and try not to bob that head whilst doing so.

Video: Run The Jewels - "Run The Jewels"

It’s a good thing the first Run The Jewels project was so damn great because El-P and Killer Mike have most certainly gotten some mileage out of the free release as we get yet another video from the record, this time for the title track. Check out the RUFFMERCY directed animated video below and look for Run The Jewels 2 to drop sometimes in 2014.

Video: Run The Jewels - "A Christmas F**cking Miracle”

Things were running at a snails pace on this end over the holidays so I’m a bit behind on things (everyone needs a vacation now and again.) So I’m gonna throw up some things that happened in the last couple weeks starting things off with the latest Run The Jewels video.

“A Christmas F**cking Miracle” appropriately hit just days before the 25th and sees El-P and Killer Mike going all out with the holiday spirit in the Joey Garfield directed clip.

Video: Run The Jewels – “Banana Clipper”

Killer Mike and El-P return with the latest video from their first-class Run The Jewels project. "Banana Clipper" was one of many highlight tracks on the album but possibly leads the pack in regards to production; it also features a cameo from Big Boi. The clip see’s the three emcees doing their thing on the streets of Georgia.

BONUS: Check out some behind the scenes footage in the making of the video.

Video: Run The Jewels - "Get It"

Killer Mike and El-P’s Run The Jewels project gets a new video for “Get It” featuring footage taken from their North American tour and some cameos.

Video: Run The Jewels – “36” Chain”

El-P and Killer Mike have shared the first video from their excellent Run The Jewels project in the form of "36" Chain." The video was directed by Timothy Saccenti, who’s worked with El in the past, and see’s the duo kicking down doors in their quest to find and rescue a kidnapped Mr. Killums. Keep your eyes peeled for cameos from Andrew W.K., ex-Das Racist members, Amber Tamblyn and more.

It’s been a busy day in the world of music videos and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to calm down just yet. El-P drops his first audio visual treatment from his just released Cancer For Cure Lp. I’ve already stated my allegiance to the record and if you haven’t heard it yet make sure you do so ASAP. Directed by Timothy Saccenti, “The Full Retard,” see’s El and a furry friend raising hell in NYC, taking part in all the classics, including drug use, partying, guns, hookers, violence and more.

Video: El-P (ft. Nick Diamonds) – “Stay Down” On David Letterman May 15, 2012

Master producer El-P stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman last night to promote his forthcoming record. El brought Islands frontman Nick Diamonds along to do “Stay Down,” a song from his excellent new album Cancer For Cure, due out next week. Diamonds guested on vocals and synth, alongside El’s live band who have the difficult task of recreating the ultra layered bombastic beats that El is known for in a live setting, thankfully they killed it.
