Get ready to check out the American supergroup duo Run The Jewels in their new film RTJ4, as they’ve revealed that it’s in the works.
It’s only been one week since the esteemed multi-talent El-P and legendary rapper Killer Mike premiered their new song ‘The Yankee And The Brave‘ and only a few days since their new ‘Ooh LA LA’ featuring Greg Nice and DJ Premier released, and now they’ve revealed to Zane Lowe of Apple Music that they’re working on releasing their new film RTJ4.
When chatting with Lowe, the duo began by describing the philosophical meaning behind their newest track, all the while spilling the beans about what they have in store for us.
“So listen,” El-P began. “Ultimately everything that happens in service of making the final product is what was meant to happen – the same way that me getting kicked out of fucking high school.”
“If that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t be here talking to you. So, I look at it pretty philosophically. It’s just a pain in the ass because me and Mike really want to get this record to the people and so we’re working our asses off to make sure that that happens.”
Then, Run The Jewels dropped their news about a new film they’ve got in the works: “We’ve just been chipping away and writing a little bit every year, man, in between tours and everything,” El-P said. “We know the basis of the movie and it’s something that me and Mike have always told each other. [We have] always decided that we always wanted to do that.”
“We base our group a little bit partly off like the Blues Brothers. When you see two dudes dressed in all black with sunglasses on, you know? There’s a couple of references there. It’s Run-DMC and it’s the Blues Brothers. But I’ll tell you, no, it’s not based on a true story. Only elements of our personalities and our lives are in there. It’s going to be a buddy action comedy.”

“That’s where we’re headed anyway. It looks like we actually might have the door cracked a little bit to do this. It may become a reality soon.”
There is no telling when we could see their RTJ4 film come about, nor when their new album is set to release, but you can listen to one of their latest track below.
