Run The Jewels – RTJ4

The intensely-awaited latest Run The Jewels album was scheduled for release on June 5th. One week prior, George Floyd was inexplicably murdered by a member of the Minneapolis Police Department and worldwide protests against police brutality and racism followed. Due to these events, Killer Mike and El-P decided to release their album two days earlier. The note to explain simply stated, “Fuck it, why wait. The world is infested with bullshit so here’s something raw to listen to while you deal with it all.” After listening, RTJ4 is the album this statement promised and the album this moment needs.
