It’s official, folks, Run The Jewels have detailed their highly-anticipated new album, RTJ4. The twosome—El-P and Killer Mike—will release the eleven-track Run The Jewels 4 on June 5th via Jewel Runners / RBC Records / BMG.

The duo continues to mass-popularize its heavily socio-political messages via mind-blowingly addictive tunes and collaborations and, as evidenced by the recent single and video, “Ooh LA LA,” a heap of guests musicians also await. From Pharrell Williams, Mavis Staples, and 2 Chainz to Zack de la Rocha, Josh Homme, DJ Premier, and Greg Nice, RTJ4 boasts an all-star cast.

RTJ4 was mainly recorded at both Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La Studios and NYC’s Electric Lady Studios. In other news, the band is also set to unveil their own cannabis line, a collaboration with the founder of the legendary Cookies strain. Previously announced tour dates with Rage Against The Machine have been rescheduled for summer 2021.

Run The Jewels 4 Track Listing:

1. yankee and the brave (ep. 4)
2. ooh la la (feat. Greg Nice & DJ Premier)
3. out of site (feat. 2 Chainz)
