Run The Jewels have shared details of a 'RTJ4' remix album.
Out on November 11 via Jewel Runners/BMG, 'RTJ Cu4tro' is a new version of El-P and Killer Mike's 2020 record, reworked entirely by Latin American artists.
Those contributing to its 11 songs include Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against The Machine, Bomba Estéreo, and rappers Santa Fe Klan and Baco Exu Do Blues.
Additionally, Akapellah and Apache both feature alongside Pawmps on a new version of Walking In The Snow, now titled Caminando en la Nieve, which utilises the verses and production from the original cut, with the three collaborators adding a fresh perspective. Run the Jewels' El-P said in a statement:
"We are honored and delighted to have had the opportunity to work with the amazing producers, vocalists, musicians, and artists who made this album happen. We set out to make a remix album, but we consider the end result of 'RTJ Cu4tro' to be more than that. It’s a reimagining of 'RTJ4' through the lens of collaboration and a fusing of numerous musical cultures and influences... a rare chance for us to connect, create and be inspired by people who we may never have had the chance to get down with if we weren’t lucky enough to be in a position to put it all together. We thank them for all their generosity, energy, and creativity. This is a piece of music filled with love, respect and craft and everyone truly gave it their all, genuinely humbling us in the process."
