Run the Jewels (the duo of Killer Mike and El-P) previously announced their new album, Run the Jewels 4, and shared two songs from it, but details of its release were TBA. Now they have announced the album’s release date, tracklist, and guests, as well as sharing the album cover. Run the Jewels 4 is due out June 5 via Jewel Runners/BMG. The album features Pharrell Williams, Mavis Staples, 2 Chainz, Zack de la Rocha, Josh Homme, DJ Premier, and Greg Nice. One song is entitled “Goonies vs. E.T.”—so in these dark times at least we’ve got that to look forward to. Check out the tracklist and cover art below, followed by the band’s 2021 tour dates with Rage Against the Machine.

Run the Jewels 4 is the band’s fourth album, the follow-up to the appropriately titled RTJ3 (aka Run the Jewels 3), which officially came out in January 2017 (but technically it dropped a little early, in late December 2016). The album was mainly recorded at two iconic studios: Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La Studios in Los Angeles and Electric LadyStudios in NYC. The band shared its first single, “The Yankee and the Brave (ep. 4),” in March. Also in March, they shared its second single, “Ooh LA LA.” Then “Ooh LA LA” got a video in April, in which the band partied in a city’s downtown area to celebrate the end of capitalism, burning money and credit cards in the process.

1. Yankee and the Brave (Ep. 4)
2. Ooh La La (Feat. Greg Nice & Dj Premier)
3. Out Of Site (Feat. 2 Chainz)
