Praise for RTJ4
“Offering tough, prescient words of truth to a nation in crisis, Run the Jewels deliver their greatest album yet” – VARIETY
“This is 2020 in audio form, an incendiary album that sounds like it was written and recorded last weekend, but built to last long after whatever is about to happen happens.” – FAST COMPANY
“The agility of the pair’s respective mic skills is no surprise to longtime listeners, but the fact that it’s often directed at our flawed institutions — from the ‘slave masters’ on our dollar bills in ‘Ju$t’ to, yes, police brutality in ‘yankee and the brave (ep. 4)’ — feels like a shot of adrenaline during a moment in which so many of us are searching for an emotional release.” – BILLBOARD
“Few musical artists are as well equipped to speak to the unrest in the United States right now quite as well as Run the Jewels” – NEWSWEEK
“its energy and words uncannily designed for right now.” – WALL STREET JOURNAL

Run The Jewels, the duo of El-P and Killer Mike, have shared a new video for ‘Out of Sight (feat. 2 Chainz)’ from their acclaimed new album RTJ4. Directed by Ninian Doff, who previously helmed the duo’s ‘Love Again’ video from RTJ2 (which premiered at Coachella 2015), it stars the cast (and characters) from his new Amazon Original movie Get Duked!, and features music from Run the Jewels. The film tells the tale of four teens whose idyllic camping trip in the Scottish Highlands becomes a fight for survival when they become the target of deranged hunters. Run the Jewels, in search of a video for their brilliant collaboration with 2 Chainz, brought the idea to Doff as a way to promote both projects, who took it beyond anything they imagined.
The result is a comedic masterstroke, in which the Get Duked! stars attempt a heist of the signature pistol-and-fist sculpture that adorns the RTJ4 cover as psychedelic visions of El, Mike, and 2 Chainz rap circles around their heads. A production of Pulse Films, this caper was shot over the course of three weeks in four cities on two continents under the strictest Covid protocols, and is the 3rd music video from RTJ4.
RTJ4, released in June to massive acclaim, sparked a tremendous amount of cultural dialogue, in no small part because its themes resonate so closely with the current moment. The album, which also includes features from Mavis Staples, 2 Chainz, Josh Homme, Greg Nice, and DJ Premier, is among the top rated albums of the year according to reviews aggregator Metacritic and has proven to be a mainstay on mid-year “best of” lists, including USA Today, Time, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Pitchfork, American Songwriter, and more.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
