Run The Jewels Finally Release MEOW THE JEWELS, and Lil Bub is a Featured Artist

When Kickstarter isn’t busy supporting expensive potato salads, the crowdfunding platform is capable of good. For example, Meow The Jewels: Run The Jewels offered an absurd pre-order option for their sophomore album, Run The Jewels 2, for which they promised to remix the album using only cat noises for the price of $40,000. Instead of one fan ponying up the dough, a Kickstarter campaign was created, fully funded, and the duo followed through on their word and made the album. Finally, that album has been released, and is available to download for free here.

The album features remixes from Just Blaze, Portishead’s Geoff Barrow, Blood Diamonds, Boots, Zola Jesus, the Alchemist, Massive Attack’s 3D, and others. The record will also be available on vinyl, with proceeds going to charities that benefit victims of police brutality.
