Madhouse Mondays: Meow the Jewels

Killer Mike and El-P are releasing Run the Jewels 2 next week but as part of their Kickstarter campaign, they offered to remake the album using only cat sounds if they reached their goal of $40,000. Well, the gods must be pleased as this is now in happening. Dig this completely ridiculous trailer for the project.

Madhouse Mondays: Run the Jewels 2

Last year, Killer Mike and El-P gave us Run the Jewels. It was raw, gritty and fun as hell. Just in time for Halloween, RTJ2 will be released on October 28th (on Nas' Mass Appeal label). Here's the first single. So gully.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Run the Jewels

El-P and Killer Mike are going hard on thier collaboration project, Run the Jewels (the album is free btw). Here's the first video to surface which features the dynamic duo harassing Andrew W.K. (wtf?) in an effort to find Mr. Killums (who gets kidnapped.....puppetnapped?). Dig.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Mr. Len

Mr. Len was part of the legendary underground crew Company Flow (which gave us the magical El-P). He's been quiet in recent years but after a sucessful reunion tour, Len has started to get back in the mix. Dig this fresh instrumental.

Throwback Thursdays: Kool G Rap & DJ Polo

Producer/rapper El-P was on egotripland this week talking about his favorite sample flips. The first one he mentioned was producer Marley Marl usage of Billy Joel's "Stiletto" on the Kool G Rap & DJ Polo cut, "Road to Riches". I had this on some late 80's hip-hop complitation - track is so bouncy. Dig.
