Killer Mike & El-P Raise $10,000 For 'Meow The Jewels' - Their Cat Sounds Remix Of The Critically-Acclaimed 'Run The Jewels' LP.
One half of hip-hop super-duo Run The Jewels, El-P recently lent his support to the Meow The Jewels cat sounds remix project by volunteering to help organizers audition the feline talent. El's visit to the animal shelter began on a pretty friendly note, though some of the cats did experience a bit of stage fright. His bond with a 100 lb cat was interrupted only by the indifference of the others and the bad attitude of the lone dog in the room - hence the reason there will never be a Bark The Jewels LP. While El-P's attempts to wrangle talent did not go so well this go-round, he is resolved to make another attempt at a later date. Check the Mass Appeal footage below to watch El-P audition a few cats. Donate to the Meow The Jewels campaign via Kickstarter. Pre-order the Run The Jewels II LP via iTunes.
