Recorded primarily at Rick Rubin's Shangri-La Studios and the iconic Electric Lady Studios in NYC, RTJ4 represents two years of intensive writing, recording, distilling, and amplifying the most potent elements of their music. The result is a collection of wall-to-wall bangers illuminating the group's unique ability to straddle the worlds of pointed social commentary and raw, boisterous fun.
RTJ4 sports a line-up of all-star guests including Pharrell Williams, Mavis Staples, 2 Chainz, Zack de la Rocha, Josh Homme, DJ Premier, and Greg Nice.
Following their critically acclaimed, underground hit Run The Jewels (2013), they expanded their reach with 2014 crossover breakthrough Run The Jewels 2, which graduated the pair from genre secret to genuine chart presence. In 2017 the duo released RTJ3 which featured appearances by Joi, Trina, Boots, Danny Brown and the return of Zach de la Rocha, RTJ3 debuted in the Billboard Top 20 and topped both the Rap and Hip-Hop/R&B Charts.
