Run The Jewels Post Up At Rick Rubin’s Studio To Work On “RTJ4” Album

    El-P and Killer Mike — the motley duo collectively known as Run The Jewels — has been hard at work on their forthcoming album, the simply titled Run The Jewels 4 (or RTJ4).

    In a recent newsletter, Mike and the Def Jux founder revealed they’d recently spent some time at Rick Rubin’s Los Angeles studio to “keep shit moving.” They shared a photo to their Run The Jewels Instagram account last month, immortalizing their week-long visit.

    “Thanks for letting us spend the week recording in your studio, Rick,” the caption read. “Be back soon… #RTJ4.”

    In the newsletter — dated Tuesday (May 28) — El and Mike promised their fans the next album was going to be their finest work, but it’s unclear how involved the Def Jam Recording’s co-founder is on the project.

    “We’ve been going hard on RTJ4 and have a genuine excitement to share new music with you all,” they said. “We stand behind our statement that this record is going to punch you in the fucking face and burn everything in its path. We thank you for your continued patience as we put together what we believe will be our best record yet.”

    In March, El’s wife, comedian Emily Panic, jokingly tweeted RTJ4 was going to sound like Lil Wayne’s Rebirth, which isn’t exactly known as Weezy’s best.

    RTJ3 was released in December 2018.

    1. Do Not…. i repeat… DO NOT let Rick Rubin anywhere near the next project. Never understood the fascination with this guy.

      1. Co-sign, but I do understand why; because he was so instrumental in the early stages of hiphop

      2. Wow. oK. He simply produced ALL of the beats on Beastie Boys License to ILL album. He’s done plenty more classic/timeless shit, but that’s enough to blow any arguments out of the water. Either you are unaware of that album (or/and that he made the beats), or don’t like those beats. Both options qualify you to shut the fuck up and not comment on real Hip-Hop. I’m sure you’re a Lil Xan/Drake fan though. Those Zaytovem beats probably really do it for you. Jackass.

          1. Facts!!!! This fools talking about shit he did in the 80s. What has he done in the last decade thats dope…. Slipknot??? GTFOH

            1. He didn’t make beats for Slipknot. Speaking ow which, multi platinum album. He rarely makes beats. The shot he did for Wminwm was dope. Let’s see.. Jay Z, Run DMC, LL Cool J, he realeased and put out Slayer, Jake Bugg, he put out the last 4 Johnny cash albums before his death. Being a record producer and making beats aren’t necessarily the same thing. He rarely makes beats anymore. Dude said “I don’t get the fascination with this guy” then switched up to “what has he done in the last 20 years.” Idiots. If Picasso didn’t paint for 20 years, then suddenly painted again, he’s still be Picasso. That man is a LEGEND. You’re all pop butt jackasses. Enjoy your SJW Hip-Hop, whiteboys. “While I work at Arby’s, we only listen to tracks produced by Zaytoven.”

    2. Rick Rubin is bad sign #1. Hope they go back to the RTJ1/2 flow. Don’t need another hour of slow songs and preaching…

    3. Perfect – here we have a j_w_sh man Rick Rubin producing the album of those useful idiots of the zio financial elite to push anti-white propaganda into the ether

    4. El-P is a self-hating cuck. He hates his white skin so much.. Beause he has been brainwashed with j_w_ish propaganda to hate himself over slavery and holocaust (first one was controlled by j_ws and the second one is an imaginary event)

    5. Here comes another backpacker album, with Multi Millionare, Maeda looking Killer Dike complaining about how black people are treated unfairly, with LP’s cuck ass nodding in approval in the background. “Americans systematically oppress the black man” he says before he hops in his chauffeur driven Maybach to his mansion. Dude made a multi million dollar deal with Netflix and owns several businesses in the ATL, plus he seems to have PLENTY of money for FOOD. LoL. All these corny, dorky white folk at his show think their garbage is “woke.” Hilarious. This racist ass clown.

        1. Nice. It’s the weirdo cuck whiteboy who sucks killer Mike’s balls. LOL. Not big mad, or any mad at all. Nice grammar. Are you appropriating Ebonics there SJW? LOL. Killer Mike wouldn’t approve! You’re that same jackass that said “you missed the point” when I pointed out that the trailer for Ma Maeda’s Netflix show starts out with “any business that doesn’t help or forward black America needs to be burnt down now.” LOL. You’re an ass clown, you actually are a great argument for the people like myself who are pro choice. If a white guy said that, everyone would be up in arms. Did you find a big black guy to fuck your gender fluid theyfriend while you span kit in the corner? LOL.
