Run The Jewels Announces 'RTJ4' Release Date and Tracklist
Featuring DJ Premier, 2 Chainz, Pharrell and more.
Run The Jewels have announced their highly-anticipated album Run The Jewels 4, also known as RTJ4, will release on June 5 complete with official album artwork, a full tracklist with features and 2021 tour dates with Rage Against The Machine.
Killer Mike and El-P returned earlier this year with the emphatic DJ Premier and Greg Nice-featuring “Ooh LA LA” complete with a riotous music video of people celebrating the death of capitalism and income inequality in the streets. The duo also premiered another single, “The Yankee and the Brave” back in March. RTJ4 taps 2 Chainz, Pharrell Williams, Rage Against The Machine’s Zack de la Rocha and more.
Their tour with Rage Against The Machine was originally planned for Spring 2020 but was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now the respective groups have announced that they’ll reconvene June 3, 2021 in El Paso, Texas at the Don Haskins Center with a 37-stop tour including five straight headlining performances at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on August 6-12.
Check out the tracklist and tour dates below. You can pre-order the album now via the Run The Jewels official website. Revisit Run The Jewels’s appearance on Rick Rubin’s Broken Record Podcast from March, too.
