I am talking directly to drug dealers and people in jail, I’m trying to inspire them to get out of the game. To tell them that they need to get their life on the right path. You’re not hustling to get in the game, you’re hustling to get out of the game. The record is also addressing harassment by hip hop cops. It talks about Fred Hampton and Larry Davis – it has political overtones and is making a socio/political statement – The record speaks in a speakers tone rather than a rappers tone. As I say in the song, “I probably will be arrested for the dope shit I say, by the GBI or DEA, but that’s ok cause I inspire dope boys to go legit and build empires.” – I know if I’m being watched, it’s based on the dope shit I’m saying, to inspire you to get out of the game, not based on me being a drug dealer. -KM
El P and Killer Mike's chemistry on this album works very well. Their "Fuck the World, we do what we want attitude" is also a highlight of the album. George Graphy
Two powerhouse MCs trading bars like their lives depend on it. But all the while bringing out the best in each other. Run The Jewels are two beasts at the top of their games, and all we can do is enjoy the ride. 🤘 mistermunn
