When Run The Jewels first began, they came out the gates blazing. Their self-titled 2013 debut was quickly followed the next year with Run The Jewels 2. The wait for RTJ3 was a bit longer, as that one dropped in late 2016. Now it’s been about three-and-a-half years since their last album, and fans have been waiting for info about Run The Jewels 4. Finally, though, El-P and Killer Mike have revealed the release date for their next collaborative album, along with the art and tracklist.
This morning, El-P took to Twitter and wrote, “RTJ4 DROPPING IN 24 DAYS,” which gives the album a June 5 release date. Shortly after that, he shared the album’s cover art and tracklist, and noted that pre-orders would be live today at noon ET. The 11-song tracklist has a handful of featured guests, including Greg Nice, DJ Premier, 2 Chainz, Pharrell Williams, Zack De La Rocha, Mavis Staples, and Josh Homme. The album was recorded at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La Studios and the Electric LadyStudios in New York, and it runs for about 40 minutes.
