Run the Jewels announce new album details
Run the Jewels — the duo of El-P and Killer Mike — have been hard at work on the sequel to their debut album, and already made a splash with their first single from the album, the Endless Playlist favorite, “Blockbuster Night Pt. 1“. But now, the full details of the album have finally been revealed. RTJ2 will be released on Oct. 28 via Mass Appeal, and that image above is its cover art. The album features a handful of guest stars, including Rage Against the Machine’s Zack de la Rocha, Foxygen member Diane Coffee, and Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker. Check out the tracklist below.
The duo is also planning a tour of North America this fall, where they’ll be bringing their heavy-hitting beats and rhymes to each corner of the country before heading down under into Australia this winter.
