Run The Jewels Unveil RTJ2 Artwork, Tracklist
When Killer Mike and El-P shared shared their concrete-shattering Run The Jewels single “Blockbuster Night Part 1,” they also mentioned RTJ2 would be out at 10/28 on Mass Appeal. Now hip-hop’s greatest active duo has shared the artwork and tracklist for the album. In addition to previously mentioned guest spots by Rage Against The Machine’s Zach De La Rocha and Blink-182?s Travis Barker, RTJ2 features visits from Beyoncé producer BOOTS, former Foxygen member Shaun Fleming AKA Diane Coffee. There’s also a song called “Love Again (Akinyele Back),” which is probably nice and raunchy. And I can’t wait to hear what “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry” is like. Check out the tracklist below along with a lengthy slate of tour dates that spans all of North America and includes a trip Down Under around New Year’s. Get stoked.
