Fans have been awaiting new music for the past couple of years, but they might have to wait a little longer. El-P recently wiped his Instagram clean. Many thought this meant he was getting ready to rollout Run the Jewels 4.
On Tuesday, December 11th he took to Twitter to announce that Run The Jewels 4 is still a work in progress and that it would not be dropping anytime soon:
no sorry we don’t release our albums on instagram. i’m deleting them just for the fuck of it and starting again because why the fuck do i need thousand of pictures of my life available to the public, you know? https://t.co/M5WTDX5c3y
