Run the Jewels - RTJ3

POW! Lucas and Cail join the RTJ revolution. Join us for a discussion of American hip-hop duo Run the Jewels, which consists of rappers El-P and Killer Mike. They scorch the earth with their third record, calling for blood and looking for hope. Listen to Lucas and Cail poorly recite their favorite lyrics.

Note: This episode was recorded on March 31, 2020, before the tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of the police. AvA supports Black Lives Matter and RTJ is the protest music of our current times.
