Listen: Meow the Jewels - "Oh My Darling Don’t Meow"

Clearly I’m not posting as much as I used to, simply put I’ve just become a little more selective. I’m sure now that winter is around the corner again I’ll be spending more time in front of the computer screen, my loss will be your gain in theory.

Last week Killer Mike and El-P shared another Meow The Jewels tune from the forthcoming remix project due out by the end of September. Just Blaze take’s on “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry” turning it into “Oh My Darling Don’t Meow.” It’s another winner for sure but misses some of that brilliant playfulness that Boots captured when he manned the deck for “Meowrly.” The cat sounds could be a lot higher in the mix and there could be more of them but that’s just me nitpicking at the end of the day.

Listen: Meow the Jewels - "Meowrly"

El-P and Killer Mike finally shared a full track from their Meow The Jewels Project last night via their Beats Radio 1 show, WRTJ. "Meowrly" is our first proper taste of the “joke campaign” that became a reality late last year. But the cat version of "Early", which features Boots, who also helped with the remix is definitely no joke; in fact I would say the production on this is even better than the original!

Meow The Jewels has no official release date at this point as it was originally scheduled to drop in December of 2014; but if the rest of the record sounds as good as this then it will be well worth the wait.

Video: Run The Jewels feat. Zack de la Rocha - "Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k)"

Run the Jewels have released the video for "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)", their Run the Jewels 2 track featuring Rage Against the Machine's Zack De LaRocha. The clip was directed by A.G. Rojas and is topical given the current social political climate here in the U.S.

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: Killer Mike - "Ghetto Gospel"

Killer Mike  just dropped a belated video for one of his more mellow 2012 R.A.P. Music tunes "Ghetto Gospel.”  As you can imagine the video is heavy on the religious imagery and see’s Mike preaching his knowledge over the El-P beat in a church environment. Created by Trevor Kane and Carlos Haynes.

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.

Get It from Run The Jewels on Myspace.

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.
