Record Store Day continues its charge as one the most important festivities for passionate music fans. Following Metallica, Iggy Pop, Ozzy Osbourne, Jack White, Chuck D, and St. Vincent, the Record Store Day Ambassadors for 2018: Run The Jewels.
El-P appeared SiriusXM’s “Feedback” show to join Record Store Day’s Michael Kurtz and Rick Johnson to announce the ambassadorship. Speaking on-air this morning, EL-P joked when contemplating the string of RSD ambassadors, to-date:
I can’t tell you how proud I am to be the least wealthy Record Store Day Ambassador,” but then in a more momentous tone, he added, “This is a community that I’ve always been a part of, so when I was asked to do it, I said ‘of course!’ I’m honored and it means something to me… I’m really grateful to do this.
Record Store Day 2018 will take place on April 21; more details to come.
Check out the duo’s announcement video for RSD below.
