Run the Jewels have made waves for both their beats and their message.
EL-P and Killer Mike make up the rap duo which started in 2013 is pretty much the human embodiment of Dylon from The Dave Chappelle show – THEY SPIT HOT FIRE. :
The two have helped fine tune the alt-hip hop scene and have often gone out of their way to get politically involved. There’s even video of Mike interviewing Bernie Sanders during the Primaries – then Sanders, via video, introduced the band at a NYC festival show. These guys rule.
Pitchfork is touting the new nation-wide tour as a chance for folks to get a sneak peek at the bands anticipated new album Run the Jewels 3. The band dropped a new track, “Talk to Me,” as part of Adult Swim’s new music project – but its said to be a track from the new record. Check it out below:
Opening for Run the Jewels is the LA-based DJ/Producer The Gaslamp Killer which describes itself as a “storm of psychedelia spun into the most intricate of patterns in his new work with Residual Tingles.” Either way, if the Boiler Room video below is an indication, it seems really weird which should fit the mood nicely.
Along side Gaslamp Killer is Spark Master Tape, a “a rapper of unknown origins” who has been dropping mix tapes since 2012. He dropped the video below for “Livin’ Lavish” which caught the eye of FADER mag:
Last week he revealed the first track off the project, a twisted toast to the high life called “Livin’ Lavish,” and today he has shared a menacing video to match. If you dare, hit play above for a dark montage of masked men with automatic weapons and big blunts.
The show is still a bit away, but tickets on sale here Friday, November 4th at 10 am.
