Live Gallery: Run The Jewels – Brixton Academy, London

CLASH Live In Association With Zig-Zag

By any standards it's been an incredible year for Run The Jewels.

El-P and Killer Mike released their third album – snappily titled 'Run The Jewels 3' – on Christmas Eve last year, a stellar festive gift for fans.

On the live front Run The Jewels have gone from strength to strength, selling out London's Roundhouse venue before hitting Glastonbury (alongside Jeremy Corbyn, no less).
