Renegade rap duo El-P and Killer Mike have dropped what many critics are already calling the rap album of the year with Run the Jewels 3, a “call to arms ushering in a new era in protest music,” as one rap writer puts it; “banger on banger on banger on banger on banger…,” according to another. It is all that — angry, inciting — but it’s also an ode to the enduring artistic commitment between these two singularly unique talents and their friendship. Not since the Beasties’ heyday have we heard voices flow together, heavy then humorous, like El-P and Mike’s.
