Killer Mike and El-P collectively make up the lyrically in your face hip-hop dynamic duo of “Run The Jewels.” Known for their boombastic beats and raw, electric and energic rhyme style its no mystery that the group has been tearing up the Rap scene for a decade now. Not to mention both parties were doing it solo before the two united back in 2013. Surprisingly the two announced last week that they plan to celebrate with a “10th Anniversary Tour.” In addition the two will be celebrating 4/20 with the release of their first sneaker collaboration. Teaming up with Nike they will be releasing the Run The Jewels x Nike SB Dunk in a high and a low, with two different colorways.
