Taking to Twitter, El-P has revealed that their free release is complete, and it will feature production from himself, alongside co-production from Little Shalimar and Wilder Zoby. Furthermore, the album will sport features from the legendary Prince Paul, as well as Big Boi of Outkast. Not too shabby if you ask me.

After discussing the issues with rap radio and what can be changed, Killer Mike and El-P are back on The Combat Jack Show for another intriguing conversation. This time, they're chatting about the differences between black rappers and white rappers, whether or not black MCs have to be "superheroes," and more. In other words, yeah, you just need to watch this, especially for Mike's comments at the end. Truth.
Right from the start, it's clear that you need to free up nearly two hours of your time to watch El-P 's new lecture as part of Red Bull Music Academy's New York takeover. ego trip 's Chairman Mao kicks off the conversation with the Brooklyn rapper-producer with a discussion of his work with Killer Mike. This includes a breakdown of their instant friendship, what inspires their sound, and so much more. Additionally, El-P speaks on producing Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein , how he's changed and grown as an artist, his work as part of Company Flow, and [...]
Run The Jewels is the "nom de plume" for the collaborative efforts of Killer MIKE and El-P, who worked together on Killer Mike’s 2012 bombshell R.A.P. Music . Hot off the heels of a critically acclaimed album of his own (2012’s Cancer 4 Cure ) El-P maintains his glorious professional momentum with some "Oreo milkshake gritty" (as in: it's pretty smooth, but there are little delicious chunks of Oreo rock in it) vocal delivery and stellar beat-craft on “Get It.” Killer Mike is as lyrically jubilant as always – he sounds like someone who just loves the feel [...]
The top mp3s have gone through many incarnations since the beginning of Consequence of Sound in 2007. What used to be an exhaustive roundup of all the singles, remixes, covers, and undiscovered gems emailed to us any given week evolved into a compilation whittled down to our 10 favorite new songs. For 2013, we’re again changing up the format with the hope of giving our selections some added weight. We’re still posting about our 10 favorite songs, but they’ll be ordered in quality from 10-1. Who takes home #1 this week? You’ll have to click ‘Next’ to find [...]
El pasado 2012 fue muy fructífero por parte de El-P y Killer Mike , no obstante sacaron dos de los LPs que mas he escuchado del pasado año, "Cancer4Cure" y "R.A.P Music" , por lo que habrá que vigilar atentamente los movimientos de esta dupla, que prepara conjuntamente un nuevo proyecto, Run The Jewels , con álbum homónimo para junio y este tema, “Get it” , como aperitivo.
Killer Mike 's, El-P produced, R.A.P. Music was my favourite hip-hop albums of last year. It was equal to the sum of its parts - and that's saying something. So, the news that the two hip-hop behemoths are joining forces yet again, this time as Run The Jewels , is a top bit of news. Even better is the fact that they'll be releasing a free to download album this June via Fools Gold . [...]
Separately, El-P and Killer Mike released two of the best albums of 2012, and it was no coincidence that El-P produced Mike's R.A.P. Music . Now the unlikely duo are poised to release a free mixtape called Run The Jewels . "Get It" is the first taste, and in the words of El-P , it's overly fuckin' awesome. Though they're giving away Run The Jewels , El-P and Killer Mike are [...]
Hip hop artists / rappers EL-P and Killer Mike have formed a collaborative partnership as Run the Jewels, recording an album and going on tour this summer. The Fool's Gold duo have shared the first single, called "Get It," from their self-titled effort as a free download on the label's Soundcloud . In fact, the entire album will be free when it is released this June. "Run the Jewels" isn't the first time EL-P and Killer Mike have worked together: Killer Mike's 2012 record R.A.P. Music was produced by [...]
"Those who handlin' damage control don't wish us the best luck" Jaime Meline contends atop a raggedy throwback beat on the first gem to be unearthed from El-P's newly polished escapades alongside Atlanta rap titan and human "Gatling" gun Killer Mike, as the duo combine to become Run The Jewels . And the New Yoiker ain't wrong, for Get It makes for a typically insurgent introduction to what may well transpire to prove an again propitious collaboration, as a faux rap battle rallying against the hackneyed tropes of bling, women, blah blah blah to have long since afflicted hip hop ensues [...]
Run The Jewels is the new collaborative project of El-P and Killer Mike. What do you get when you mix El-P with Killer Mike, besides a great Killer Mike album? Apparently the new...
El-P and Killer Mike both put out fantastic albums last year, for 2013 they've decided to team up and form Run The Jewels. The album will be coming out in June and will be free! This is one of my most anticipated releases this year! Expect a full review when the album drops, in the meantime check out the first single Get It ! -Filippo El-P On: Facebook | Twitter Killer [...]
Longtime collaborators make it official with the announcement of new s/t Run The Jewels project. "Get It" sounds quite like what you'd expect (or have already listened to 100x) a collab between Run The Jewels members El-P & Killer Mike might sound like that which is a-ok/awesome with us. On "Get It", the menace, the skin-tight rhythms and beeps and bloops that mark the El-P sound fit Killer Mike's crushing, fists up, literate lyricism very very well. Stay tuned for the LP. Run The Jewels - Get It [...]
El-P & Killer Mike , frequent collaborators + two of the most celebrated names in rap in their own right, confirm rumors of a joint LP + tour today as ‘Run The Jewels’. El-P’s self-produced Cancer 4 Cure reanimated Brooklyn rap last year with his signature lyrical conviction & bruising production; he also handled all of the beats for Mike’s R.A.P. Music LP , which dropped a few weeks earlier. Both won the acclaim of media + fans across the globe & led to 2012’s legendary, hugely successful Into The Wild tour. One [...]
Ty Segall at Bumbershoot 2012 / photo by Amber Zbitnoff Today's a big day for Ty Segall , that is if the legendary scuzz garage king can have big days anymore after his many releases, shows, and side projects. First of all his band Fuzz released a video that features the trio playing "Fuzz's Fourth Dream" at Burgerama in LA. The video starts with a little trickle of "Rhapsody in Blue" for whatever reason, before following them to the show. Next up Segall has a new track streaming - "Music For [...]
