To my right, Killer Mike, Atlanta rapper, collaborator with OutKast and T.I., activist and actor. To my left, El-P, a New York composer, rapper, producer and pioneer of American alternative hip-hop. Together, they form Run The Jewels, a duet that has rocked the crowds for four years now with the release of their self-titled first album, unanimously acclaimed by the specialist press.
You never get bored at concerts by these two rappers, who know how to deliver incredible songs with lyrics as ironic as they are committed and shake up their audiences at major hip-hop events where taking a rest is not an option.
Praised by Pitchfork, welcomed with open arms by the US Indie scene (they supported Jack White), and old hands at festivals, Run The Jewels return to the Grande Halle de la Villette with three more albums in their pocket , "Run The Jewels 2", "Run The Jewels 3" and "Meow The Jewels", an alternative version of their first album with all the instrumentals replaced - hearing is believing - by meowing cats!
