Run The Jewels – “Lie, Cheat, Steal” Video
Run The Jewels’ RTJ2 was our favorite album of last year, and if they end up making videos for every song on the record, we will not complain. They’ve already made clips for “Blockbuster Night Part 1” and “Oh My Darling Don’t Cry,” and today they’ve debuted the clip for “Lie, Cheat, Steal,” the monster banger they performed on Conan earlier in the month. Director Ruffmercy’s clip is pretty simple: Just Killer Mike and El-P rapping in front of a tagged-up wall while trippy graphics fly around them. But it’s a great video for the same reason that a Run The Jewels live show is a total must-see: These guys have ridiculous levels of chemistry and energy, and it’s just a blast to watch them go. Watch them go below.
