In 2012, El-P produced Killer Mike's critically acclaimed album R.A.P. Music. The following week, Killer Mike appeared on the track "Tougher Colder Killer", from El-P's album Cancer 4 Cure.
Both won the acclaim of media and fans across the globe and led to 2012′s legendary, hugely successful “Into The Wild” tour. One year later, the duo return to satisfy fan demand, and their own creative urges, as Run The Jewels, cementing their musical alliance with a full album of uncompromisingly raw, forward thinking hip-hop.
They released their self-titled debut album, Run the Jewels, on June 26 2013, via Fool's Gold Records to critical acclaim.
Their follow-up record, Run the Jewels 2, was announced in August 2014. It was released through Mass Appeal Records, on October 24, 2014. They also announced the release of a traditional remix album of Run the Jewels 2, which will be released via Fool's Gold Records Records in 2015, and a remix album titled Meow the Jewels exclusively featuring "cat sounds" which will see guest production from Prince Paul, The Alchemist, Just Blaze, Dan the Automator, and others.
Run the Jewels 3 was digitally released on December 24, 2016, three weeks prior to its previously announced release date of January 13, 2017. Physical release of the album appeared on January 13 in the United States and January 20 elsewhere.
In June 2017, the track "Legend Has It" from Run the Jewels 3 was featured in the teaser trailer for Marvel's Black Panther during game four of the 2017 NBA Finals, and was viewed 89 million times in 24 hours. Multiple Run the Jewels tracks were also featured in the 2017 action film Baby Driver, which also featured a cameo by Killer Mike. In September 2017, Run the Jewels released "Mean Demeanor", a track created for the football video game FIFA 18.
In March 2018, Adult Swim released a Run the Jewels/Rick and Morty crossover music video for "Oh Mama". The music was a remix of "Oh Mama" from Run the Jewels 3 accompanied by sound effects from a Rick and Morty short. The effort was directed by Juan Meza-León, and was released prior to Run the Jewels headlining the 2018 Adult Swim Festival on October 7, 2018.
On December 12, 2019, the single "Legend Has It" was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
Run The Jewel's 4th studio album, RTJ4, was released on June 3, 2 days earlier than the pre-determined release date, following the wave of protests about the death of George Floyd in the hands of police brutality. RTJ4 was met with widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 89, based on 26 reviews.

Love Again
Run the Jewels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
On our time of innocence
When we drank that Hennessy
Ate on lamb and venison
Face fucked you in your kitchenette
Fucked you like we tusslin'
Do you fuck your husbaland
Like, do y'all be tusslin'?
Do you ask him pretty please
Do you crawl on hands and knees
Like you used to do for me
Oh, you such a dirty girl
The world won't let you be yourself
I won't accept nothing else
I be having none of that
You be takin' all of this
Pleasure come from punishment
Your threshold astonishin'
I think I'm in love again
Found my perfect drug again
Feel better than heroin
You love my alpha arrogance
2 Live Crew the narrative
There it is
I put that dick in her mouth all day
She got that (dick in her mouth all day)
She take that (dick in her mouth all day)
(She said she wanted my, wanted my)
Dick in her mouth all day, day
I get with that (dick in her mouth all day)
She play with that (dick in her mouth all day)
She want that (dick in her mouth all day)
I think I'm in love again (Love again)
Here I am, my love
Just like when we first hooked up
Feeling like I'm animal
Feeling like you're edible
Bendable
I been away
I don't have too much to say
You say say it anyway
I say take your shirt off I'm not playing bae
You little freak
What you are is so unique
Smart and full of filth and joy
You been with some little boys
Now you're with a grown-up man
One who'll actually understands
Kid gloves are not on my hands
I will never condescend
Now spread yourself
She smiled a bit
Gripped the outline of my shit
Oh, my god, I love this chick
I must put my tongue in this
Into every space I go
Give me everything you am
She said, "No, you gimme first"
That was like a day ago
8 AM
Still got my
Dick in her mouth all day
She got that (dick in her mouth all day)
She take that (dick in her mouth all day)
(She said she wanted my, wanted my)
Dick in her mouth all day, day
I get with that (dick in her mouth all day)
She play with that (dick in her mouth all day)
She want that (dick in her mouth all day)
That's what you want huh?
Well let me tell you a little story
I had a young player from the hood
Lick my pussy real good
Kept me stuck with lots of wood
Kept my bank account on swole
Sniffed my pussy like a rose, smokin' on dro
Made a porn tape
That nigga is a pro, you ain't know?
He had a lot of bad bitches in his past
But I was the one who turned that boy into a motherfuckin' man
His tongue is bomb
He say love for me to ride his face
Front to back, grippin' ass
Pay my bills, where I live, fuck me good
Broke-ass niggas killing me
I'm about my money, ho
Never been a square bitch
He ain't paying? Hit the fuckin' do'
Talking slick, that Memphis shit
I be from that Haven click
Keep it ratchet so sweet
All these boys kiss my feet
I be on that queen shit
You better bless my realness
Stick your tongue up in my ass
You better show me who you fuckin' with
Run The Jewels
Love again, you gon' lose, I'm gon' win
Let's have an orgy
I'mma share your ass with all my friends (Yeah, ho!)
He want this clit in his mouth all day
He want this clit in his mouth all day (Yeah, ho!)
I put my clit in his mouth all day
I've got this I've got this fool in love again (Yeah ho!)
I put my clit in his mouth all day
I put my clit in his mouth all day (Yeah, ho!)
He want this clit in his mouth all day
I've got this fool in love again (Love again)
"Love Again" by Run the Jewels is a sexually explicit song with subversive lyrical content, blended with rude humor, and a retro sample. The song features Gangsta Boo, best known as one of the founding members of Three 6 Mafia, a legendary hip-hop crew from Memphis. The lyrics deal with a woman's liberation and her taking control of her sexuality.
The song's lyrics, "Reminiscin' on our time of innocence, when we drank that Hennessy, ate on lamb and venison," reference a time before the relationship became complicated and the couple enjoyed pleasures and adventures, much like drinking and dining out. The lyrics also refer to a woman performing fellatio on her partner, using explicit language. The song also portrays a woman taking charge of her sexuality and demanding to be treated the way she wants to be treated in bed.
The song's chorus iterates a woman's sexual desires as she uses slang to describe her partner's performance, accentuating the sexual nature of the song. Gangsta Boo's verses, detailing BDSM and analingus, are confident, carnal, and dominating, promoting a woman's sexual desires while curbing the inherent power dynamics within a relationship.
