What can we expect as far as this upcoming tour? I know you two and DJ Trackstar will be on stage. Anyone else?
El-P: It's a crazy show, and it's a hell of a bargain for whatever the ticket price is because we've got Kool A.D., formerly of Das Racist, and then we've got Despot. And then we've got Killer Mike and El-P solo sets, and then we come back at the end and do a full Run the Jewels set. And for me I've got my dudes Little Shalimar and Wilder Zoby who are long time collaborators and friends. They're multi-instrumentalists and they're adding to the show, not only the El-P show but the Run the Jewels show. So it's a fucking event.
We wanted to come out and give an event and I think that people are going to walk away from this shit with their mind blown. Honestly, just in terms of energy and the that way we're setting it up, I'm really proud of it.
Killer Mike: Me too. And Trackstar's smashing on both sets, he's doing his thing. And shouts out to Shannon, and my man Jabee -- he's mashing with us too.
Cool, that's all of my questions. Thanks for doing this.
Killer Mike: Thank you, brother.
El-P: Alright, man. Thanks a lot.
Killer Mike: El, so you just stay on and wait for the next caller to come in?
El-P: Yeah, that's what I do.
Killer Mike: Alright.
El-P: We have like six minutes, so...
Killer Mike: Oh, ok. I'm gonna roll a blunt then.
I'm sorry, can I put that on the record? I hadn't hung up yet.
Killer Mike: You just NSAed us. [everyone laughs]
El-P: Fuck it, put it on the record.
Yeah, that's the big shocking headline: "They smoke weed." [everyone laughs]
Killer Mike: Alright, I'm going to hang up and roll the blunt, El. I've got five minutes.
El-P: Alright, peace.
Killer Mike and El-P 9 p.m. Wednesday, July 14 The Firebird, 2706 Olive Street. $18-$20
