Overview
Run the Jewels is a rap duo that consists of the rapper-producer El-P and rapper Killer Mike. Their music is up-beat, politically charged, conscious rap. Both rappers are consistent, but the interesting thing is they are extremely well-matched skill wise. They never show each other up on any song. They have an old-school sound with new age production. Run The Jewels 4 is extremely polished and well put-together. Their friendship has grown in good vibes and significance in this moment in history.
Defining Track
"Ooh La La" has a drum loop nearly identical to Earl Sweatshirt's Chum song. However, I feel silly pointing that out. This is a good song. It's well executed and it has their patented style all over it.
Final Thoughts
Run the Jewels is refreshing. They are sending the message that everyone should be but circumstantially can not. This album perfects their presentation while not introducing anything new. It's a bit to safe, but it's worth a listen.

"The beat was a collaborative track with K.E. on the Track. He laced up the beat and I got Jackboy on there for the hook too. It's just real catchy, we shot the video for the track and it just a had kind of club or pop vibe to it. It's definitely a Summer song and its very upbeat and kind of fast paced, it def keeps the head nodding."
Combing elements of guitar and singing, Cameron Airborne has found a lane doing his own thing combining it all with rap after performing in a band early on in his career.
"I play guitar because I had played in a band before and I ended up rapping. It gave me stage experience and the drive to want to do my own thing." Cameron Airborne expla
"I branched out and started doing my own music and I always wrote my own poetry so transitioning to rapping was natural. I can make trap music, I can make pop catchy sounding music and I can make real lyrical stuff too. When I put out a projects I try to put out a little something for everyone to take something away from the project."
Although most of the world has been shut down over the past few months with COVID-19, Cameron Airborn
"Im just on the independent grind, I'm opening up my own studio and that way I can make money, just recording and doing sessions," Cameron Airborne
