Indie Exclusive Orange Vinyl

Hip-Hop's preeminent collaboration between El-P and Killer Mike went from a whim-driven underground rap project to a worldwide sensation since the release of their 2013 debut Run The Jewels. Mixing the industrial grime of NYC with the vibrant bounce of the dirty South, they forge Hip-Hop's future while adhering to the core tenets of its bedrock: gymnastic displays of skills, incendiary political rhetoric, merciless braggadocio, battle-honed assholery, R-rated punchlines and a back-and-forth that brings the interplay of the shell-toe Adidas era screaming into our contemporary nightmare. Tearing up the music industry rulebook, their self-titled 2013 debut was originally released through a series of website-crashing free album downloads.
