Run the Jewels, also known as RTJ, is an American hip hop duo formed by rapper/producer El-P and rapper Killer Mike. They gained recognition with their debut studio album, Run the Jewels, which was released as a free digital download in 2013. The album received critical acclaim and established them as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

In 2014, Run the Jewels followed up with their second album, Run the Jewels 2. This release further solidified their reputation for delivering powerful and thought-provoking lyrics over innovative beats. Critics praised their unique sound and socially conscious themes.

The duo's third album, Run the Jewels 3, was digitally released in 2016 and later made available physically in 2017. Once again, they received widespread acclaim for their boundary-pushing music that seamlessly blends genres and tackles important issues such as social injustice and political corruption.

50 Years of Hip Hop

Run the Jewels - Hip-hop's preeminent collaboration between veteran rhyme-slayers El-P and Killer Mike —have gone from a whim-driven underground rap project to a worldwide sensation since the release of their 2013 debut Run The Jewels. Mixing the industrial grime of New York City with the vibrant bounce of the dirty South, they forge hip-hop's future while adhering to the core tenets of its bedrock: gymnastic displays of skills, incendiary political rhetoric, merciless braggadocio, battle-honed assholery, R-rated punchlines and a back-and-forth that brings the interplay of the shell-toe Adidas era screaming into our contemporary nightmare.

Tearing up the music industry rulebook, their self-titled 2013 debut was originally released through a series of website-crashing free album downloads. Featuring Outkast's Big Boi on Banana Clipper and Prince Paul on Twin Hype Back, it's a "rough and rabid ride"; a "swaggering victory lap for two artists at the peak of their creativity"; and been dubbed "one of the best hip-hop records of 2013".
