Chesstown King's Reviews and Thoughts

I knew this album would be fire when it was announced and it really is off the goddamn chain! RTJ4 is arguably their best work yet. The rhymes hit hard and the beats thump. "JU$T" is a dope song that features Pharrell Williams. Its really smooth but impactful. The duo, Killer Mike and El-P, also touch on police brutality which is very very relevant today. I really like "Walking in the Snow" which features Gangsta Boo. It's so raw man. "Ooh la la" is another fire song. I actually didn't really dislike any songs...but I suppose its not better than Run the Jewels 2 which came out in 2014. The Yankee and the Brave are one of the best rap groups of all time in case you didn't think so before. Lyrics: 25 Beats: 24 Depth: 24 Tilt: 24 Verdict: 97

RTJ (Killer Mike & El-P) have returned, and with yet another f***ing great album. This one is the longest, and arguably the best lyrically. The features all work well, especially Trina’s chorus on Panther Like a Panther. Danny Brown does well too on his feature.  So I mean this album is 3 points away from masterpiece, and that surprises no one. The last 3 rd of the album isn’t as exciting as the first 2/3s but its still greatness. El-P and Killer Mike are great rappers with excellent delivery and flow. The production is great too. RUN THE JEWELS, Live at the garden son… Verdict: 9.7
