Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally intended as a one-off project, the debut of Killer Mike and El-P as Run the Jewels sparked one of the most vital partnerships in hip-hop. The album is a fun, ferocious romp of boom-bap beats and intricate lyrical trade-offs, devoid of filler or radio concessions. It captures two veterans cutting loose with rebellious joy, laying the groundwork for the more politically charged sequels to come.
