By the time they set out, Killer Mike and EL-P may have already released Run The Jewels 5. During an interview with High Times, last month, Mike confirmed that they were putting the finishing touching on the project. “The album is literally two days away," he said at the time. "I have to go in tonight and change two lines on a song. I’m just waiting for some drums from [producer] No I.D. and we’re done.” As for MICHAEL, the album is due out on June 16.
