About

A TAV Essential Listening Album.

Run The Jewels, the super dynamic duo of El-P and Killer Mike, two of the most distinctive and cele-brated names in rap, released their highly anticipated sophomore album, Run The Jewels 2, in 2014.

RTJ2 includes guests ranging from Zack de la Rocha to Travis Barker amongst others, but the duo maintains that the album is first and foremost about the creative partnership between the MCs them-selves.

Run the Jewels 2 received widespread critical acclaim and was called #1 Album of the Year by many outlets such as Pitchfork, Complex and USA Today as well as best Best Rap/Hip Hop Album by Roll-ing Stone and SPIN. – Mass Appeal

“An album like RTJ2 is rare. Decades from now, this album may just be revered as one of the best hip-hop records of our era, the total synchronicity of two talented artists reaching the apex of their prime.” - Consequence of Sound

“This is the most viciously realized rap album of 2014…. RTJ2is darker, bolder, and longer than its predecessor, though still clocking in at a bullshit-free 39 minutes;... sounding like nothing else and an-swering to nobody but its creators, Run the Jewels 2 is in a class by itself." – Pitchfork
