Run the Jewels Come Characteristically Hard in NSFW New Video

by nylon

This year brought exactly zero albums brasher than Run the Jewels 2.more

The second tag-team full-length from MCs El-P and Killer Mike has been earning accolades left and right, and fresh off a recent North American victory lap, the duo has dropped a new video for "Oh My Darling (Don't Cry)." There are no tears in this clip—just lots of flashing lights, color trails, and a topless stripper daring you to hit "play" on YouTube while your boss is down the hall.

And of course, El-P and Killer Mike figure into the visuals, though really, it's their words that shine. "Oh My Darling" is the source of perhaps the most quoted RTJ2 line, "You can all run backward through a field of dicks," and there are plenty more brags, insults, and threats where that came from.

Next week, RTJ head to Europe for a run of dates that will ultimately take them to Australia and New Zealand. "My business card says you're in luck / I do two things, I rap and fuck," El-P raps here. Figure that's what he tells customs officials?
