Run The Jewels Take Coachella With New Song “Scenes,” A Bernie Sanders Shoutout, And Many Surprise Guests
Run The Jewels had a big day at Coachella. Killer Mike has introduced Bernie Sanders at multiple rallies, and yesterday, the Democratic candidate returned the favor, introducing Run The Jewels via a pre-recorded video message on the Jumbotron. Then the duo opened their set with a bang, debuting a new song called “Scenes” from the now halfway-done(!) RTJ3. They continued their momentum throughout the evening with a whole bunch of surprise guests, bringing out Gangsta Boo for “Love Again (Akinyele Back),” DJ Shadow for their new collab “Nobody Speak,” Despot to fill in for Big Boi on “Banana Clipper,” Nas — who called RTJ his “favorite group” — to perform “Made You Look,” BOOTS for “Early,” and Gary Clark Jr. to add some guitar soloing to “Angel Duster.” Listen to audio of the new song and watch footage from the set below.
