El-P on "Rhythm Roulette"


El-P was the most recent victim (or whatever you make of it) on Mass Appeal's Rhythm Roulette web series.

The Brooklyn rapper, known as well for his solo efforts as he is for the monstrously good Run The Jewels (never forget that), is also one of rap's finest producers. Fans familiar with the series will note the premise; a producer picks three random LP's blindfolded and warps them into something of a beat. El-P's collection comes with soul and Beethoven, so how he weaves that into something remotely good is insane. Check it out below.

Danny Brown - ODB


Is it too much out of line to think that OLD might end up being the best rap album of 2013?

It's got steep competition with Chance The Rapper's Acid Rap and Run The Jewels (BOTH STILL FOR FREE), but first indications of the delayed Danny Brown follow-up to 2011's XXX are extremely high. Case and point; "ODB."

The oddball production from Brown's producer Paul White (who also produced XXX) is nothing short of extraordinary on the track, which has a fittingly bizarre video to go along with it. It's a serious must listen.

OLD is set for release September 30 on Fool's Gold.

Run The Jewels video - 36" Chain


Go back to May of last year. Then, El-P debuted the video for "Full Retard," starring himself and his obscene puppet counterpart, Mr. Killums, who went missing by the video's end. A year later, with Run The Jewels in full force, director Tim Saccenti starts to unravel the mystery of his disappearance with the new video for "36" Chain."

The video follows El-P and counterpart Killer Mike searching for answers through a seedy apartment complex, getting answers from Andrew W.K., Amber Tamblyn, Heems, and others through all the violence necessary.

Watch the video below and grab (you gotta) Run The Jewels today for free at Fool's Gold.

Run The Jewels - Banana Clipper (ft. Big Boi)


Over the weekend, the ultimate duo of Killer Mike + El-P, better known as Run The Jewels, released the killer second track from the duo's upcoming self-titled release Run The Jewels, "Banana Clipper." Fans would note that this isn't the first listen of the track we've gotten, but now the full-blown version with Big Boi is readily available to stream and download. Drool away.

Run The Jewels (El-P and Killer Mike) - Get It


After swapping assistant services on each of the other's excellent 2012 LPs, El-P and Killer Mike have finally debuted a the first full track as Run The Jewels.

The long-awaited compilation piece, which has been talked about for several months now, debuted "Get It," a dark-stormed beat with the two partners trading off hard edge verses. The duo, which debuted a small clip of "Banana Clipper" earlier this month, will be releasing a free album in a few months through Fool's Gold.

But for now, head over to Stereogum to download the new track.
