Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 3 (Opaque Gold Vinyl)

RTJ’s third instalment is a thunderous, razor-sharp statement — bigger, darker and more expansive than its predecessors. El-P’s production is dense and cinematic, all industrial synths, bruising low-end and explosive percussion, while Killer Mike and El-P trade verses that swing between political fury, gallows humour and pure technical flexing.

From the propulsive opener “Down” through the ferocious “Talk to Me” and the triumphant “Legend Has It,” the record never lets up — urgent, purposeful and addictive front to back. This opaque gold variant pairs perfectly with the album’s larger-than-life energy, a standout pressing of one of the decade’s most acclaimed hip-hop releases.
