Run The Jewels will continue its plans for world domination by bringing its tour across the pond in March.

The European leg of the “Run The World Tour” follows a previously announced North American outing that runs from January through March 1.
The hip hop duo will be showing off tunes from their third studio album, simply called Run The Jewels 3.
A review from Rolling Stone declares, “Lyrically, there no lack of muscular skill-flexing.”
The write-up continues, “On ‘Talk to Me,’ Mike calls out an easily ID’d devil who ‘wore a bad toupee and a spray tan’ while El-P boasts self-abasingly ‘I’m dirt, motherfucker/I can’t be crushed.’ And El-P’s still got just as many absurdist boasts (‘I do pushups nude on the edge of cliffs’) as Mike has pithy slogans (‘We are the no-gooders, do-gooders’). But tracks like the simmering ‘Thieves! (Screamed the Ghost),’ with eerie vocals from Boots and TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe and a clip of MLK intoning ‘A riot is the language of the unheard,’ mark an evolution of the duo’s sound and sensibility. Run the Jewels can still detonate rhymes like a Molotov cocktail lobbed into a CVS, but now they’re strategizing for the long war ahead.”
