WHAT?
Add the ingenuity of rapper/producer El-P to the emphatic raps of Killer Mike and you get the insane rap-duo Run The Jewels! RTJ guarantee resounding hip-hop with keen beats, dirty bass, raw voices and a killer flow (no pun intended). With three majestic albums to their name now, simply titled ‘RTJ ’, ‘RTJ2 ’ and ‘RTJ3 ’, they catapulted themselves right into the hip-hop heavens… even though Killer Mike wants nothing to do with all that: “There will be no respect for the thrones”.

After their visit to BRDCST earlier this year, they now return in the company of the equally inimitable Danny Brown whose Warp debut ‘Atrocity ‘Exhibition’ also raised eyebrows.

El-P, Killer Mike, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Vince Staples,…

IN THE PRESS
De Morgen: ‘Memorabel: Run The Jewels blies de steunmuren uit de AB met zijn verschroeiende sound.’ Alsook: ‘Politieke hiphopband Run The Jewels laat goddelijke apocalyps neerdalen in AB.’

AB TRIVIA
Rapper El-P already appeared on stage at AB in ’03 together with the likes of Beans (Anti-Pop Consortium).

PROGRAMMER
KO: ‘Hip hop met het vuur van punk. Live keer op keer verpletterend zoals we hen zagen op SXSW (Texas), Primavera (Barcelona) én BRDCST (AB).’

FUN FACT
We still consider the ‘CAT-alogued ’ album ‘Meow The Jewels’ to be magnificent.
