Nov 6, 2014Run the Jewels 2 gut-punches the competition into second place.

Oct 28, 2014The sequel takes the simplistic thrills of the debut and expands the duo’s natural chemistry. With Killer Mike grounded at the album’s emotional core, El-P is free to indulge in his intrepid production tendencies.

Nov 4, 2014Cranking the urgency and confrontation of last year's self-titled debut to neck-breaking intensity, RTJ2 is an urgent, paranoid album for a violent, panicked time.

Nov 18, 2014Run The Jewels 2 is the logical follow up to Run The Jewels; it's bigger, bolder, and feels like a punch to the gut that you'll be feeling for weeks.

Apr 26, 2023Because this is a Run the Jewels album just going to give it a 0, don't really have to listen to it even though I like Killer Mike.
