Killer Mike and El-P lit a fire under fans at the top of the month when El-P took Twitter to announce that they will follow the Run The Jewels LP - their critically-acclaimed June debut that made lots of shortlists for album of the year - with a forthcoming sophomore project. Killer Mike addressed their plans for the future and the praise they have received for their monster of a project in a recent chat with HipHopDX:
I can say that we’re going for the triple crown. I see we’re coming back next year. We’re gonna be recording December and January. Let’s everybody hope and pray that we make the illest, craziest possible Rap shit, that it’s dope as hell and that we enjoy another year of doing what we do for all the Run the Jewels fans.We worked very hard to impress you guys and we’re very glad that you were impressed. Like the year prior to this, in which El dropped Cancer 4 Cure and I dropped R.A.P. Music, we were working really hard on those albums to impress you, too, and we worked very hard to impress each other because we love Rap the way you do. So, I can tell you to look forward to us working our asses off to further push ourselves, push the boundaries and grow Run the Jewels for you to be impressed. That’s with whatever El and I do together. We’re always working to leave an impression on fans.
