After selling out their headline show at London’s KOKO this year in super quick time, due to public demand Run the Jewels has announced an additional huge London date for their upcoming tour at The Forum London on the 7th June 2015 – tickets are on sale 9.00am Friday 14th November.
El-P and Killer Mike, 2 of hip-hop’s most respected, credible & formidable artists, first joined forces in 2012 on Killer Mike’s classic album, R.A.P. Music, produced by El-P. Mike then appeared on El-P’s smashing solo album Cancer 4 Cure. That experience became a creative marriage resulting in the birth of the group Run the Jewels. After much anticipation, they released their self-titled debut album in 2013 on Fool’s Gold for free as a ‘thank you’ to fans.
Since then, Run the Jewels album has become one of the most celebrated hip hop acts of the past year and toured to worldwide acclaim. Now they’re back for Round 2 – RTJ2 – and it’s time to unleash fresh new music on the ravenous hordes. Freshly signed to Mass Appeal Records (the new label of rap legend Nas), RTJ2 is a boisterously brilliant and powerful follow up album featuring appearances from notable artists and producers including Zack De La Rocha (Rage Against the Machine), Travis Barker (Blink 182), BOOTS (Beyonce), Diane Coffee and more. The album dropped worldwide on October 27th as a free download via www.runthejewels.net and for sale in your favourite music store.
Following their sell out show last year in London at Electric Brixton, Run the Jewels proved that they are one of the most distinctive names in rap music. Now bringing their successful stateside tour to the UK in December with an extra added date in June next year, they will perform headline shows in both Manchester and London. Their critically acclaimed new live showcase will see the hip-hop duo preview the new material off their debut album Run The Jewels 2.
Last remaining tickets are on sale now for Manchester, tickets for the new London date at The Forum on 7th June 2015 are on sale 9.00am Friday 14th November. All available from gigst.rs/RTJ
