They made the best albums of 2013 and 2014. Here's hoping they make the best one of 2016, too.

Here's the first cut of Talk To Me from RTJ3

Whatever happened to Run the Meows?

For anyone not familiar, there was a kickstarter prompting them to remix their album with cat sounds, and they did it. Most of their music is without cat sounds.

------

and not related to cat sounds, this is a jam:

I wasn't really feeling their last album but that new track there is a banger.

If RTJ3 is as good as the two before I think Run the Jewels are up there with the best rap groups of all time to be honest.

How many other rap artists have made two albums of the quality of RTJ and RTJ2?

Dre? Jay-Z? Kendrick?

If RTJ make it a three-peat, they'll be untouchable, imo.

The greatest team in history
My ears likey. Of course it will be as good as the others. El-P can do no wrong in my eyes. Comfortably in my top 5 producers in hip hop history.

Can't wait for this. RTJ2 is pretty much always part of my daily music listening.

I love Killer Mike. I think El-P is a genius. That said, I've not been able to get into any of the RTJ albums. It's just hard for me to crack into (phrasing?). Anyone who has heard the density of Funcrusher Plus will appreciate what I mean here.

RTJ2 is one of my go to albums, I absolutely love it.

The first wasn't quite as good IMO, but still good for sure. Hopefully 3 will be another banger.

Not my cup of tea. Too fat, too hard.
I remember thinking that when I first listened to RTJ2. Thought it was a bit much and loud, but the more I listened to it the more it grew on me and it's one of my favourite albums now.

Got really hyped once I saw this song was out, and it didn't let me down. Can't wait til the album comes out, I'm sure it'll be an album of the year contender.

The beat on Talk To Me is awesome. Their albums make amazing gym playlists, just gets you pumped.

Eagerly anticipating this album, but I wonder if my standards will be too high now. RTJ2 has become a possible top 10 personal favourite.

I always love Lie, Cheat, Steal. I think Mike's verse on it is probably my favourite out of every song they've done, and El-P's is pretty great too,

Partial to Crown at the minute though.

If I had to pick one I'd probably say Oh My Darling (Don't Cry) edges out Lie Cheat Steal.

I've spent ages trying to come up with a favourite. I honestly can't. It's like picking a favourite child.
