"Demands repeated listens."

More Run The Jewels More Run The Jewels

The unstoppable success of Run The Jewels, both in regards to artistic triumph and popular appeal, has been one of the more pleasant surprises of the past three years.

The duo's success continues largely unabated on their third album. A more sprawling effort than the world-conquering Run The Jewels 2 or the pair's looser debut, Run The Jewels 3 boasts the occasional immediate chorus (Panther Like A Panther, for example) but demands repeated listens to fully reveal its more layered charms. In essence, though? It's another near-classic album from an outfit seemingly incapable of delivering anything but.
