Hello, I'd Like A Moment Of Your Time To Talk About The New DJ Shadow And Run The Jewels 🔥 Track

Listen, good music is hard to find these days -- and good hip hop music is even more rare. So when you find it, you gotta hold on to it, hug it, and tell it "thank you" when it happens. Because real shit like this feels like it happens with the regularity of a unicorn sighting.

The offering that we have for you today is one from DJ Shadow and Run the Jewels. The collaboration takes the very best of DJ Shadow's trademark aggressive beats and overlays them with a set of sly rhymes from Killer Mike and EL-P

On top of that, the collaboration gives us a hell of a homerun in its music video -- a hilarious take on our current political climate and the types of things that politicians wish they could do or say to one another.

The tongue-in-cheek approach is one that's echoed in the press release that accompanies the video in the description section, quoting DJ Shadow as saying,  "We wanted to make a positive, life-affirming video that captures politicians at their election-year best. We got this instead."

And the political approach in the clip above is not by accident. Noted Bernie Sanders activist, Killer Mike further explains "It's what I really wish Trump and Hillary would just do and get it over with. And even in that fight I think Hillary would win — and that's not an endorsement."

Give the clip a view for yourself above.

Thank you for your time. I appreciate it and hope you will enjoy this.
