Run the Jewels talk new album, Atlanta hip-hop history on Rick Rubin podcast

Run the Jewels recently chatted with Rick Rubin for his “Broken Record” music podcast to discuss their upcoming album, which Rubin produced.

Atlanta’s Killer Mike and partner El-P recorded “RTJ4” at Rubin’s Shangri-La recording studio and, during the podcast discussion, Killer Mike mentions a song on the upcoming album that contains an incorrect Outkast reference. “But it’s DOPE,” he said, “and I do not want it changed because it’s so dope!”

Killer Mike also shares that he doesn’t think rapper Shawty Lo receives enough credit (“He underwrote a genre of music”) and feels the same about Gucci Mane (“He really has propelled a lot of careers”).
