After a successful Kickstarter fund raised more than $65,000 last year to fulfill a pre-order option to re-record Run The Jewels 2using only cat sounds for music, group producer El-P has shared a preview of the progress on social media.
In December El-P announced that Meow The Jewels would begin production in January and over the weekend he shared a series of in-studio previews of what sounds like a remake of the original album’s first track, “Jeopardy.”
El-P also previously announced that celebrity feline Lil Bub had provided a bank of sample fodder for the project.
