Run The Jewels Announce ‘RTJ CU4TRO,’ an all-Latin Remix of ‘RTJ4’

Run The Jewels’ RTJ4 is getting remixed by an all-Latin lineup of artists for a forthcoming project entitled RTJ CU4TRO. Arriving November 11th via Jewel Runners / BMG, this reimagining of the 2020 album by EL-P and Killer Mike recruited Nick Hook to help curate & co-executive produce the album.

RTJ CU4TRO brings together artists from across Latin America including Bomba Estéreo, Akapellah, Baco Exu Do Blues, Iggor Cavalera, Mexican Institute of Sound, Santa Fe Klan, and Zack de la Rocha.

Our first glimpse of what’s to come is “caminando en la nieve,” Orestes Gomez & Nick Hook’s musical reinterpretation of RTJ’s original “Walking in the Snow,” now featuring Akapellah, Apache, & Pawmps.

Listen to “caminando en la nieve” ft. Akapellah, Apache & Pawmps below.

If you’re attending this year’s Corona Capital, Mexico’s largest music festival, don’t miss Run The Jewels performing on November 18th. If you partake in enjoying libations of the craft beer variety, look out for the duo’s 3rd craft beer with Mexico’s Cerveza Minerva, an India Pale Ale also named CU4TRO, which is infused with mezcal via RTJ’s partnership with Mexican craft distillery El Tinieblo.

EL-P shared a statement via a press release:

we are honored and delighted to have had the opportunity to work with the amazing producers, vocalists, musicians, and artists who made this album happen… we set out to make a remix album, but we consider the end result of RTJ CU4TRO to be more than that. it’s a reimagining of RTJ4 through the lens of collaboration and a fusing of numerous musical cultures and influences… a rare chance for us to connect, create and be inspired by people who we may never have had the chance to get down with if we weren’t lucky enough to be in a position to put it all together. we thank them for all their generosity, energy, and creativity. this is a piece of music filled with love, respect and craft and everyone truly gave it their all, genuinely humbling us in the process.
