As promised, the cat-infused remake of Run The Jewels 2 is on the way.
El-P took to Instagram yesterday (May 18) to share a preview of one of the tracks off the Meow The Jewels album. The song “Angelmeowster” is a rendition of RTJ’s closing track “Angel Duster.”
“YOU MADE US DO THIS,” El-P wrote via Twitter. “Making a cat sound album for charity has a cost. namely, that its an album of cat sounds.”
The producer-turned-rapper also tweeted that DJ Prince Paul, Just Blaze and famous cat Lil Bub will be featured on the album.
Meow The Jewels began as a light-hearted Kickstarter campaign. But when thousands of backers helped the fan surpass the goal by pledging more than $65,000 towards it, El-P and Killer Mike agreed to do the album.
El-P has kept fans updated with the album’s progress by periodically sharing snippets of songs. In January, he posted a Instagram video that sounded like a cat rendition of RTJ’s “Jeopardy.”
