Killer Mike & El-P Made The Perfect Visual Companion To Run The Jewels’ Title Track (Video)

When Heads pressed play on Killer Mike & El-P's Run The Jewels album (by the newly-formed group of the same name) last year, things got a lil' heavy. Hard raps, hazy beats, big bass, and an energy that lived up to the title of an album demanding somebody to hand... Read more

Killer Mike Makes Another R.A.P. Visual That Deserves Constant Replay (Video)

In 2012, Killer Mike's video for "Big Beast" seemed to steal the show. It was NSFW with nudity, violence, and a storyline that made it superior to the rigamarole found in contemporary Hip-Hop videos. After 2008's "Pressure" and 2011's "Burn," Mike Bigga's honed a space in video that's all of... Read more
