It’s been four years since Killer Mike and El-P released any new work under their Run The Jewels team banner, and while Killer Mike has been enjoying a helluva run since then, he and El-P have once again connected on a new cut thanks to one of your favorite video game franchises.
This past Wednesday (Aug. 28), Killer Mike premiered his latest Run The Jewels cut, “Detonator” during his appearance on Activision’s Call of Duty NEXT livestream event. The song was created for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and of course, the joint went hard. Featuring an assist from Rock D The Legend on the hook, “Detonator” once again reminds us why Killer Mike and El-P make a formidable duo on a track as the two spit that Hip-Hop ish where bars based off of content and rhyme patterns are cleverly scripted.
While this will definitely lead to fans calling for a brand new Run The Jewels project, no one knows when or even if that’ll happen, but given the chemistry these two men have when they’re in the studio we know it’s only a matter of time before we’re blessed with some new work when they inevitably get back in the kitchen.
Check out Run The Jewels’ new cut “Detonator” below, and let us know if you’re feeling it in the comments section.
