Run The Jewels
Because the Internet
ACID Rap
Run the Jewels comes storming in with so much sincerity and aggression. Its boom bap hiphop with the consciousness of Public Enemy and its dope. Killer Mike and El-P capture lightning in a bottle with this one. You can mindlessly nod to El-P’s production or scrutinize just how lyrical they both are. The young Chi-Town Chance the Rapper brings a multitude of cadences and a soulfulness while maintaining his youthful perspective. His ad-libs alone are worth one listen of ACID rap. These characteristics make him a perfect match for Childish Gambino. An artist who also floats between singing and rapping bars. Both are atypical when you compare them to the landscape of current rappers but remain authentic. Because the Internet is an album that just gets better every listen.
