Your support makes all the difference.Killer Mike, one half of Run The Jewels, says he’s hoping to release his group’s record by the end of this year.
“I would like to be finished by July 7,” Mike recently told HipHopWired. “I would like to ball on the 4th. I think we'll be done real soon. People know when we say soon, we're trying to get it out. We want it out this year.”
Mike said that Run The Jewels 3 will be “darker” and “harder” than the rap duo’s previous material which includes tea bagging piranha tanks, anti f**kboy sentiments, violent government resistance, and the ills of police brutality.
“I’m just smoking weed, eating ‘shrooms, watching Big Trouble In Little China everyday,” Mike admits. “You know what were doing, were going zany. We’re going dark. I think we have some stuff that will touch your soul.”
Late last year, El-P said that "RTJ3 is just getting started," and shared a 15-second snippet of the album on his Instagram account.
