Just a year after revealing plans to create and distribute a remix of their popular Sophomore album using cat samples, Run The Jewels have made good on their promise. Meow The Jewels is now available for stream and free download, as well as pre-order on limited edition vinyl, and UTG has all the details you need.
“Did we make the silliest, occasionally most grating possible remix album? Of course. And we did it for you, Mike Brown and Eric Garner,” El-P tweeted after announcing Meow the Jewels’ arrival.
Meow The Jewels was created after a Run The Jewels fan created a Kickstarter page to urge the group to attempt the silly concept. The idea quickly went viral, and the band agreed to the challenge. They also agreed to donate proceeds, around $45,000, to charity.
Some of the best producers in music helped Run The Jewels bring this project to life, including Prince Paul, the Alchemist, Dan the Automater, Boots, Just Blaze, Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, Zola Jesus and Massive Attack’s 3D. You can stream the album and download the album below.
Meow The Jewels will also be released on 2-disc vinyl in the near future. Pre-orders are available now on the RTJ store.
