El-P and Killer Mike, two of the most distinctive and celebrated names in rap, might have seemed like an unlikely pairing on paper, but the duo subverted and pulverized all expectations with their critically lauded Run The Jewels collaborative LP. Tapping into the creative synergy they'd discovered in 2012 on Mike's R.A.P. Music album (produced by El-P) and El's Cancer 4 Cure album (featuring Mike), Run The Jewels cemented their musical alliance with a set of uncompromisingly raw, forward thinking hip-hop, garnering limitless critical accolades including the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, XXL, SPIN, New York Times, and many more.
Killer Mike and El-P know how to work the crowd. I had a great time and the energy was through the roof. Perfect performances complimented by great stage presence. I can't wait to see them again.
The opening acts sounded fine, but when RTJ came on stage, the sound engineer seems to have put the bass up to eleven and then mentally checked out.
This was my 2nd time seeing RTJ and they did not disappoint. One of the best duos you could hope for. Vocals and sound on point, and they feed off of each other's energies. You HAVE TO go.
Killer Mike and El-P were unbelievable, the crowd was incredibly into it and high energy, and it was just an overall crazy experience. Definitely worth going
The show was packed and the energy level great, the crowd was really into this music.
to preface: i'm not typically a rap fan. i came across RTJ's music from an ex of mine and was completely hooked. so when it came time to see them live, i jumped at the opportunity. i've been to many a rock/metal show in my day, so i expected it to not be my scene... i was skeptical due to the fact that my idea of rap shows meant standing around and bobbing your head to the music while a rapper stands there and just spits bars. i was pleasantly surprised. killer mike and el-p have more energy than a bunny rabbit on red bull. and the crowd... my goodness. when the first song hit, everyone started bouncing up and down and rapping along to a song from an album (i believe they opened with "talk to me"?) that was only released 3 weeks prior. it was almost a spiritual experience seeing these two. they're funny, charismatic, and incredibly talented. their live energy is unmatched, and is entertaining to both the hardcore hip-hop head, and the casual listener (like myself). if you get a chance (and the show isn't sold out already)... go. GOGOGOGO.
Loved the energy throughout the show, they did every song I wanted them too, and most of all the crowd was great, couldn't have asked for a better experience with my favorite rap duo
The hour and a half wait of the DJ and his "friend" was terrible. Once Run The Jewels actually came on, it was awesome. 45 minute show for 1.5 hours of filler though! I would have finished the show at Boston Calling, finished my drink at the bar, THEN come to see RTD had I known they would go on so late!
Was great, otber than the opening acts couldnt make it. Had to sit around and an hour and a half but when RTJ came on they killed it!
Awesome set. Both Killer Mike and El P were incredible live.
Couldn't think more highly of the show or the venue.
The concert was insane, but honestly it was too loud for my taste. It was honestly pretty painful. My ears were ringing for 2 days. It really was amazing though. Run the Jewels had a ton of energy and were a lot of fun. I'd go back any day.
All the performances were great. The crowd was really into the show and it was overall a great night of music. Salute to Killer Mike, El-P, Despot and Ratking. Until the next one.......
Honestly the best concert I have ever been to. Great small venue, incredible music and the crowd was very into it. I would see them again.
Venue is interesting because it is small but because it is Killer Mike and El-P, they made the place explode. People there were awesome, sound was great (borderline too loud), good times were had by all.
El & Mike killed it, as expected. Just go see them, no need to think about it.
After pretty good opening performances by Despot and Ratking, not a soul could truly grasp the energy that was to come from the crowd when the beat for Run the Jewels dropped. From then on it was a tremendous performance from some serious entertainers who knew how to get a crowd going.
Run the Jewels is just plain sick. Out of this world performance, incredible crowd energy.
RTJ was incredible. One of the best shows I've been to.
Amazing show ! Filled with energy from the first to last sets
