Run the Jewels held a special concert on Adult Swim yesterday, October 17th. The rap duo performed their new album, RTJ4, in full. The stream was hosted by Eric Andre, and in collaboration with Ben and Jerry's ice cream, the intention of the stream encouraging viewers to vote in the upcoming presidential election. There were also some guest appearances from the rock world – namely Rage Against The Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha, and Queens Of The Stone Age‘s Josh Homme.
There is a mini-site set up for voting, which you can see here.
Unfortunately, de la Rocha and Homme were not present live in the performance studio, and seemed to pre-record their portions of the performance, but it still came out really solid.
Here is the performance of “Ju$t” (featuring Zack de la Rocha and Pharrell Williams), properly timestamped:
And here is “Pulling The Pin” (featuring Mavis Staples and Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme):
