Raycevick's Recommendations: RTJ4
Added 2020-06-15 22:01:01 +0000 UTCRun the Jewels 2 holds up as one of the best albums out there. It's one that consistently floors most I show it to, whether they're into hip-hop or not. While RTJ4 doesn't quite reach the highs of that album, at least on a first listen, it packs a mean punch. Especially the opening and ending.
It's as much a banger as it is politically charged, with countless listeners believing lyrics were written in the last week, when they actually were completed last year.
El-P's production continues to be as phenomenal as the record's pacing. There's multiple new favorites here for me. Yankee and the Brave. Goonies vs E.T, JU$T, etc. And I'm sure most who enjoyed RTJ's previous work will find their own favorite songs in this release.

reddit introduced me to them with RTJ 3 a year or two ago (can't remember exactly), and I quickly became a fan.
