There might be a little over two months before Christmas, but Run the Jewels are giving their fans a major gift for free today. The hip-hop duo have released their new album, ‘Run the Jewels 2,’ the follow-up to their critically-acclaimed 2013 album.
The free gift came early this morning (Oct. 24) at 1:28AM, by way of El-P’s Twitter account. “Good morning.” #RTJ2 drops right now,” he wrote. Run the Jewels is comprised of El-P, the former frontman of Company Flow, and OutKast affiliate Killer Mike.
Besides the tweet, news of the album came through an email sent by the group.
“We just couldn’t wait another damn day longer to share RTJ2 with you,” read the message. “Thank you to all the jewel runners worldwide for all your support. It means everything to us. Please enjoy the music. It was made for you.”
The 11-song release includes guest features by Gangsta Boo, Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack De La Rocha and Travis Barker.
The pair on currently on tour bringing songs like ‘All Due Respect’ and ‘Lie, Cheat, Steal’ to the masses. According to SongKick.com, the group will be in South Carolina this weekend, in Philadelphia on Oct. 31 and in Charlottesville, Va., on Nov. 2.
