Run the Jewels Share Music Video for “Early,” Featuring Boots

Run the Jewels has shared the video for their song “Early,” featuring Boots, off of their most recent album Run the Jewels 2.
The animated clip depicts scenes of protest and police arrests in striking black and red. The video feels timely, considering current events, and features animation done by Bug & Sluzzy, fitting seamlessly with lyrics from Killer Mike and El-P.
Additionally, El-P recently teased audio from a song off of Run the Jewels 3, although the album itself won’t be out this year.
fyi RTJ3 is almost definitely not coming in 2015. touring all year but every chance we get we are working hard on it.
