They released their eponymous debut studio album, ''Run the Jewels'', as a free digital download in 2013. The highly acclaimed album was followed by ''Run the Jewels 2'' in 2014, which was also praised by critics. ==History== Killer Mike was first introduced to El-P by Cartoon Network executive Jason DeMarco, in 2011. The following year, El-P produced Killer Mike's album, ''R.A.P. Music'', which was soon followed by Killer Mike's appearance on the track "Tougher Colder Killer" from El-P's ''Cancer 4 Cure''. When ''R.A.P. Music'' and ''Cancer 4 Cure'' were released within weeks of each other, the two rappers decided to tour together. The success of the tour eventually led to the decision to form Run the Jewels. On June 26, 2013, Run the Jewels released their self-titled debut, ''Run The Jewels'', on Fool's Gold Records as a free digital download. Their follow-up record, ''Run The Jewels 2'', was released through Mass Appeal Records on October 24, 2014. A light-hearted remix album composed entirely of cat sounds titled ''Meow the Jewels'' was released on September 25, 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Run the Jewels Drop Meow the Jewels )〕 It features guest production from the likes of Prince Paul, The Alchemist, Just Blaze and others.
