Run the Jewels have dropped RTJ CU4TRO via Jewel Runners/BMG. RTJ CU4TRO is a full reimagining of their 2020 RTJ4 through the prism of collaboration with artists, rappers, producers, singers, musicians & visual artists from across Latin America. Using the original RTJ4 masters & stems as both foundation & inspiration, each song was paired with specific collaborators via the guidance & vision of EL-P (who also contributes new production to the album) and longtime RTJ ally Nick Hook (RTJ, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Fool’s Gold) who helped to curate & co-executive produce the project, pulling from his deep relationships across LATAM and spending almost two years traveling across the region to help bring this vision to fruition. Next week Run the Jewels will perform at Mexico’s largest music festival, Corona Capital.

The support & enthusiasm of CU4TRO’s collaborators for the project underscores the special quality of the album plus the effort put into creating it. Rapper Akapellah, who was recently nominated for a Latin Grammy says “It’s a pleasure for me to be part of such an amazing body of work. CU4TRO will lead to a huge change in the way we connect. We made great music from the bottom of our hearts for the world, and by combining different sounds & views, we hope it will eventually lead to a revolution & revelation within all of our cultures.”

EL-P and Killer Mike added a charitable component to this campaign, raising $116,000 to help reunite and repair families who’ve been separated and traumatized at the US/Mexican border. They launched a contest with sweepstakes platform Omaze offering one lucky winner a chance to win their signature ride, a 1985 Buick Grand National, and the donation will be administered by the ACLU . The band are also releasing an exclusive merchandise item with 100% of profits going to help support women’s shelters in Mexico.
